Over its operational history, the division underwent significant transformations before being disbanded on 31 December 1993, with its remnants integrated into the Malaysian Army Training and Doctrine Command.

Its new role was to coordinate all reserve units within the Malaysian Army, centralising their operations and improving discipline and logistics, which were previously decentralised.

Notably, on 1 January 1987, the 8th Battalion, Royal Ranger Regiment, was designated as an airborne unit to assess its combat effectiveness.

Its personnel and facilities were absorbed into the newly created Malaysian Army Training and Doctrine Command, marking the end of the 11th Strategic Division's legacy.
