THE COMMANDO MANUAL PART- I

Hello people (now it’s really confirmed that people are reading my posts)...

           As I have mentioned in my previous post about this one, I would like to mention once again that this one is taken from nowhere (except for the figures at necessary places).... This post entirely is from my own opinion on how a commando should be....

Now let’s get to our point......

            Before that I would like to have my disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any dire consequence that this post or any other post in this blog causes upon you or your surroundings by you..... The blog is entirely for informative purposes only....

 

Coming to our story:

            I would like to divide the entire elite team of men in to 4. They are the 

  • Military special forces
  • Spies
  • Covert assassins
  • Military assassins

            Now here I would bring a COMMANDO in the first category. Yes, a commando is a special military unit (let him be of the army, the navy or (not usually) the air force) personnel. 

            For all the people who don’t know who or what a commando is (and also for those who have a small idea) let me introduce you to whom a commando is. A commando or a kommando, as in some languages, is a person who is specially trained to perform behind the enemy lines duty or put in simple terms who performs tasks which a normal soldier cannot do. This particular word is said to have originated from the Portuguese (COMANDO) meaning command. So we can say that these are the people who command the war or a battle.

            Yes, i give so much importance to these people because, they have the very potential to change the course of a war as they wish. Really, no one will easily understand this. You’ll know why i say this as you read further.

 Who can become a commando:

            A commando is not made, he is born. The statement means that it is an inborn quality within someone. Only he will become a commando, who has something more than passion for it. It is a fire that should be burning within. The mental makeup of a commando should be such that he is ready to sacrifice anything in his life for the sake of the country he is employed by. A commando would surely be seen separate in a crowd.

 Qualities expected in a commando:

            The qualities expected in a commando are many. This is because the job requires him to have all these on the question of survival. Since the commandos are elite men and not many make it to the position, no one can afford to lose these men. So they are required to have certain qualities embedded in them.

            I would always say this, “All elite men are not made but are born”. So a commando is to be born that way. I’ll further categorize the qualities of a commando into the following:

v  Personal life

v  Special abilities

v  Training required

v  Operations involved

 Also i would separate a commando in to two. They are the IDEAL COMMANDOS and REAL COMMANDOS. I would describe all the necessary qualities of each division as we move on. The qualities required are mostly similar in both but for in certain cases which are highlighted below.

Hello
First of all I`m sorry if my english is not quite 100%

I am currently in service in the Norwegian millitary, my training is based on field-intellegence and recconisance behind enemy lines... this is a bit of what u call a "commando" however, we are not that..
in Norway the only word u can translate commando with is "Jeger" litterally translated to english it means "hunter, a hunter in norway is traditional a man who is used to surwive alone in the nature and walk wery long distances whit a huge pack on his shoulder...
Millitary speaking, a jeger is the hardest trained soldier, there is.. trained to operate behind enemy lines and do all the kind of work traditional forces dont do...(sabotage, special recconosance, direct action, counter terror and so on..)
In norway we have many "jeger- companies, but only two of them takes it all the way.. that is the MJK and the FSK, this is the cind u talk about.. the commandos,
MJK = marinejegerkommandoen
FSK = forsvarets spesialkommando
The MJK are called "marinejeger" and the FSK are called "spesialjeger"
toghetter MJK and FSK goes under the name NORSOF
NORSOF = NORwegian Spesial Operations Forces.

dont quite know why I`m telling u this but as a millitary freak ;) I hope u find it interestin

There is only one Commando that counts and they have proven time and time again in combat and in cross training that they are the best in the world....Her Majesty's Royal Marines Commando's from the UK.....they have out manoeuvred, through sheer fitness, determination, controlled aggression and military skills. Since inception beaten all other forces they have come up against from all countries over the years..... FACT
