	EC-130E Commando Solo / Rivet Rider
		Commando Solo and Senior Scout operations may be long or short range missions with extended orbit delays planned at the aircraft operating ceiling, and may require one or multiple air refuelings.
		Commando Solo gave SFOR the non-lethal means of quickly neutralizing SRT transmissions in the case of non-compliance.
		Shortly afterwards, SFOR used Commando Solo in a live mission to transmit on a frequency normally used by Bosnian Serb TV, actively countering the adversary propaganda by explaining that the absence of normal programming was due to the actions of the Bosnian-Serb leadership.

	Qwika - similar:Commando
		The French Navy commando Jaubert storm the Alcyon in a mock assault.
		The British Commandos were first formed by the Army 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 Commando Order was a top secret order issued by Adolf Hitler on October 18, 1942 stating that all commandos captured in Europe and Africa (but excluding seamen), should be immediately executed even if they attempted to surrender.

	Commando - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Originally a commando was a type of military unit.
		Additionally, communities and farmsteads provided self-equipped, mounted men whenever a commando was mustered (a form of mobilization similar to the original Texas Rangers.) In the final phase of the Second Boer War, the commandos fought a guerrilla campaign, in which 75,000 Afrikaners occupied the attention of the 450,000-strong British forces.
		In Australia, the Independent Commando Companies were disbanded at the end of the War, with two Reserve units, 1 and 2 Commando Companies, being raised in 1954, and the joint regimental structure of the 1st Commando Regiment (1 CDO) being formed in the 1980s.

	Commando Order - Military Photos
		Though the main assault on Dieppe failed, the Army Commando attacks on the flank batteries were, on the whole, successful as was the main assault on St. Nazaire.
		From the beginning the Commandos were instructed in close-quarter combat and use of the fighting knife by Fairbairn and Sykes who were the original instructors in 1940 at Lochailort Special Training Centre, and who designed the original FandS Fighting Knife issued to Commandos.
		The members of the so-called Commandos behave in a particularly brutal and underhand manner; and it has been established that those units recruit criminals not only from their own country but even former convicts set free in enemy territories.

	Commando Order - Page 2 - Military Photos
		SOE were seperate from the commandos, a sort of secret agent type outfit - they operated as saboteurs etc and generally ended up stacked up against a wall if caught.
		The incident that probably started the commando order was the discovery of dead German soldiers with their arms tied behind their back after a commando raid.
		I don't think that that is the whole story, certainly SOE were not a military organisation as they were part of the Min of Economic Warfare, however military personnel working for SOE would have remained military personnel.

	washingtonpost.com: Elite Israeli Troops Refuse To Serve in the Territories
		The criticism from within the Israeli military and security forces has unsettled the Sharon administration and has contributed to discontent expressed in the last few months by many segments of Israeli society over the government's handling of the Palestinian uprising, now in its fourth year.
		Political analysts said the comments from soldiers and military officers on operations in the occupied territories was one of the reasons Sharon announced last week that his government would unilaterally establish what he called a security line between the West Bank and Israel if the Palestinian Authority did not act quickly to stem terrorism.
		Separately on Sunday, Israeli military activities continued in the West Bank, where a six-year-old Palestinian boy, Mohammad Naim Isryda, was shot in the chest and killed while playing near his house in the Balata refugee camp on the edge of Nablus, Palestinian medical officials reported.

	World War II Commando Revolver Article
		Commando serial number "1" was assembled on November 12, 1942, and retained in the Colt museum.
		Since it appears that military and DSC revolvers were marked the same, it is very difficult to determine which revolvers were for the military, given the meager official documentation that is available.
		The last military shipment noted by the author was the shipment of three four-inch revolvers (serial numbered 33974, 44358 and 44866) to the Army Air Force Intransit Depot, Long Beach, California, on August 20, 1945.
