Ermelo Commando was a light infantry regiment of the South African Army.

It formed part of the South African Army Infantry Formation as well as the South African Territorial Reserve.

During this era, the unit was mainly used for area force protection, search and cordones as well as stock theft control assistance to the rural police.
