Commando
In military science, the term commando can refer to an individual, a military unit, or a raiding style of military operation. In certain contexts, the term is synonymous with light infantry or "special forces". They should be distinguished from special force units which specialise in extended, long range ground-level reconnaisance and patrol missions, behind enemy lines (such as the various Special Air Services).
