The XI Division was the only division-sized combat formation made completely of army reserve officers and men from the Malaysian Armed Forces Reserve until it was transformed into a strategic division on 2 May 1984. On 31 December 1993, the division was disbanded. What remained of its headquarters, including personnel and facilities, was absorbed into the newly formed Malaysian Army Training and Doctrine Command.[1][2]
