British Commandos

British Commandos were raised during the Second World War for raiding and specialized offensive operations. Their training emphasized physical endurance, small-unit initiative, amphibious movement, and cooperation with naval support. Early coastal raids developed into larger operations, and commando formations later fought alongside conventional forces in campaigns such as Normandy. Army Commandos and Royal Marine Commandos shared an evolving tradition but were not identical organizations. Commando formations developed their own training and operational methods while relying on naval transport, intelligence, communications, and cooperation with other forces to carry out raids and larger operations. Raiding demanded accurate intelligence and dependable extraction as well as boldness. A successful landing could still become a disaster if communications, supporting fire, or the route back to the ships failed.
