	Commando - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The initial phases of the war were fought conventionally, but in the final phase, 8,000 Afrikaner commandos occupied the attention of the 450,000 British Army personnel- ten times as many British soldiers as during the first phases of the war.
		During the court martial of Breaker Morant, the commando strategy of the Boer resistance- clearly a concept both new and startling to British military thought- was cited as mitigation for the summary execution by Morant and his comrades as prisoners of war.
		Italy's Commandos of World War I, the Arditi, were not reformed in World War II, and their most renowned Commandos became the Decima Flottiglia MAS who, from mid-1940, were responsible for the sinking and damage of a considerable tonnage of Allied ships in the Mediterranean.

		The British Commandos were first formed in June 1940 during World War II as a well-armed but unregimented raider force employing unconventional and irregular tactics to assault, disrupt and reconnoitre the enemy in mainland Europe and Scandinavia.
		The Commandos were formed and operated in secrecy and produced a demoralising effect on German coastal forces while achieving celebrity status among the British public, shrouded in myth, comparable with fighter pilots.
		Following the British invasion of Syria on June 8, 1941, No.11 Commando were sent to successfully lead the crossing of the Litani River in Palestine, fighting against Troops of the French Vichy Régime.

		Exemplo Ducemus RE:600 British Army personnel to be transferred to 3 Commando Brigade Royal Marines 1/1/2006 10:37:48 PM Firstly: The Comdt General RM stated the operational requirement for a fourth Commando in the magazine interview some months previously.
		The regiment being earmarked for the commando role is the new five-battalion unit called The Rifles, which is to be formed in 2007.
		3 Cdo are an all arms formation and its fairly clear that the armies two light bdes have 4 bns (or at least a 4th bn available to each) so making 3 Cde the same has obvious attractions.

	Terrorism - United Kingdom Deploys Commando Battlegroup in Afghanistan
		The British Commandos bring with them long experience in counter insurgency operations, ranging from the jungles of Malaya and Borneo in the 1950s to the streets and farmlands of Northern Ireland in more recent years.
		Likewise, he questions the suitability of the British 105 mm howitzers that, while accurate, pack one-third the punch of their U.S. 155 mm counterparts, which are too heavy to be carried by the battlegroup’s helicopters.
		Commando and airborne troops are not cheap, however, something that will give Britain’s Ministry of Defense leverage in its request for an extra £1 billion in its annual budget.

	British Triumph On East Falkland
		On 23 April the British government warned the Argentines that any "threat to interfere with the mission of British forces in the South Atlantic would be dealt with appropriately."36 Tightening the blockade even further, the British changed the MEZ to a Total Exclusion Zone (TEZ) on 30 April.
		The British government intentionally avoided putting the potentially lucrative target close to the Falklands.43 While at South Georgia, Royal Marine Major General Jeremy Moore, the new overall commander of the two brigades, transferred with his staff and Brigadier Wilson to the destroyer ANTRIM for immediate passage to San Carlos.
		But because 3 Commando Brigade needed all available helicopters to build up combat power and supplies at their relatively exposed position at Mount Kent, Moore denied Brigadier Wilson the use of helicopters for transporting his brigade along the southern axis.45 Brigadier Wilson rejected no for an answer.

		This is, I think, a British feed of some sort and there is a firefight going on as we speak, and we'll just stay with this for a bit.
		And now within the last few minutes a British spokesman has told me and confirmed to CNN that they believe a Patriot anti-missile missile was responsible for downing one of their aircrafts in the skies over Kuwait.
		Those American and British mercenaries will face the ultimate death, and fighting is under way and very intense in Umm Qasr, which is not far from that desecrated Arab land where the British and American invaders are in Kuwait.

		The encirclement of Najaf also involved 1st Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division, which is now across the Euphrates with the 7th Cavalry, the NYT reports.
		Also, it seems clear by now that at least one brigade of the Iraqi 6th Armoured Division are also in Basra and took part in today's spoiling attack.
		So, if one of Shinseki's "Stryker brigades" was good to go today, it could presumably fairly quickly get to Kuwait, deploy, and take up the slack in that long front to send other, stronger, units forward, like the British 7th Armoured.
