 The new government was also of the opinion that a competent FAMP force would remove the need for any outside British intervention in the region.Consequently, by 1876, the FAMP had grown to have units stationed at Komga, Queenstown, Palmietfontein, King Williams Town, Peddie, Butterworth, Kenhardt, Fort Murray, Ealing Post and Kokstad.An artillery unit was added in 1874.
