Had a mate who served in Northern Ireland who felt like this too, always checking for IED's and Snipers.

The term commando actually originates from the Second Boer War, the South African Boer's would form a Commando consisting of soldiers from the local city, numbering roughly one thousand horse backed rifleman.

The usage of the word Commando was introduced to the British Armed Forces by Winston Churchill as he himself had been captured by the Boer's during the Second Boer War and having admired their skill and ingenuity in combat went about organising a unit with similar mindset to British Forces during the Second World War.

Just thought I'd share that with you, and put my final year dissertation to some use!

Hope you enjoyed the Commando tests!

If you're interested, you should read up on the 'special relationship' that the Royal Marines and the Dutch Royal Marines have with one another.

The Royal Marines Coammandos have a single battle honour on display on their cap badge, that of Gibraltar. Dutch and English Marines assaulted the rock of Gibraltar in 1704 capturing it from its Spanish defenders.

After a month break in fighting the French and Spanish assaulted Gibralter, the 2,000 English and Dutch Marines subsequently held the rock under constant siege for NINE months. At the end the French and Spanish retreated after being resoundingly beaten.
