Army Commando

In military science, the term commando denotes an individual soldier, a military unit, and a raid ( a type of military operation). Contemporarily, commando identifies élite light infantry and special forces units specialised in parachuting, rappelling, and amphibious landings to conduct and effect attacks. In the militaries of some Commonwealth countries, the observed distinction is that commandos specialise in assault and special forces specialise in counter-terrorism, reconnaissance, and sabotage. Originally “a commando” was a type of combat unit; in other languages, commando and kommando denote a “command”, in the sense of a military unit.
