While the numbered commandos provided the primary assault force, Support Commando ensured the tactical superiority of the regiment during the Rhodesian Bush War. This high-visibility yellow shirt features the bold black eagle emblem in a clean, high-contrast design. It is a practical choice for military history enthusiasts, fitting alongside our RLI 2 Commando and Selous Scouts collections. Role of the RLI Support Commando Formed as an integral part of the Rhodesian Light Infantry, the Support Commando was responsible for the regiment’s heavy organic fire support. This included mortars, anti-tank capabilities, and reconnaissance elements that were vital for both internal Fireforce duties and external raids. Members of Support Commando were trained to the same rigorous standards as the assault commandos, often operating in small, highly effective teams to secure objectives. This apparel acknowledges their technical expertise and combat legacy within the Rhodesian security forces. The Eagle & Shield Insignia The defining feature of this Rhodesian Light Infantry shirt is the Support Commando eagle insignia. Presented in a striking black print on yellow fabric, the design includes the tactical shield on the chest and the large, detailed eagle crest on the back. The eagle, a symbol of vigilance and power, remains one of the most respected emblems of the era. Our design is a faithful reproduction of the historical unit marking, ensuring that the visual heritage of the RLI is presented with accuracy and respect for collectors. Fireforce Support Role In the rapid-response world of “Fireforce” operations, the Support Commando provided the necessary “staying power” and heavy suppression. Whether deploying via G-Car or K-Car, or participating in parachute drops, these men were essential to the RLI’s mission success. This yellow heritage tee is designed for those who appreciate the specialized tactical roles and historical significance of the support elements that allowed the 1RLI to maintain its operational intensity throughout the 1970s.
