The Malaya Command was a formation of the British Army formed in the 1920s for the coordination of the defences of British Malaya, which comprised the Straits Settlements, the Federated Malay States and the Unfederated Malay States. It consisted mainly of small garrison forces in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Taiping, Seremban and Singapore. With the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, the command reinforced its strength in anticipation of an attack. With the bulk of British forces being tied down in Europe and North Africa, the command was mainly augmented by units from India.

  • 馬來亞司令部(英語:The Malaya Command)是一個由英國陸軍設於1924年的,第二次世界大戰期間於1942年因為馬來亞和新加坡淪陷而停頓,直到1945年重光後才從新運作,1957年因為馬來亞聯合邦獨立而解散。 二戰以前,馬來亞司令部的主要職責是要協調英屬馬來亞的防務,當中包括海峽殖民地、馬來聯邦和馬來屬邦。司令部在吉隆坡、檳城、太平、芙蓉市和新加坡等地都設有小規模的駐軍。 二戰在1939年爆發後,司令部開始著手加強駐軍軍力。但由於英國三軍主力要應付歐洲戰場和北非戰場,因此增加的兵力都主要來自英屬印度陸軍。 由1940年11月18日起,司令部在架構上從屬於新成立的。1941年12月8日日本入侵馬來亞後,司令部在1942年1月7日起改為從屬於另一個新成立、但壽命短暫的美國-英國-荷蘭-澳洲司令部(ABDACOM),試圖設法控制又稱「東印度屏障」("East Indies Barrier")的所謂「馬來屏障」("Malay Barrier")。該防線由馬來亞半島一直南下伸延到新加坡,然後再連往最南端的荷屬東印度群島。不過,所有駐守的英聯邦部隊於1942年2月15日在新加坡戰役戰敗和投降後,司令部即被解散。 (zh)
