Tshwane Regiment is an infantry regiment of the South African Army. As a reserve unit, it has a status roughly equivalent to that of a British Army Reserve or United States Army National Guard unit.
History
[edit]This regiment was originally established as the Yskor Pretoria Commando in 1969 and over the years several commando units and regiments, such as Hillcrest, Munitoria, Regiment Pretorius and 2 Regiment Northern Transvaal were amalgamated with Regiment Schanskop.
In December 2002, the name "Tshwane Regiment" was approved to be in line with the area where the regiment is situated.
Operations
[edit]Members of this regiment have been deployed internally and externally of South Africa. The regiment has been deployed in the Soutpansberg Military Area and during elections.[1]
