In military science, the term commando can refer to an individual, a military unit, or a raiding style of military operation. In certain contexts, the term commando is synonymous with elite light infantry or special forces. However they should be distinguished from special forces units which specialize in counter-terrorism and/or extended, long range ground-level reconnaissance missions behind enemy lines (such as the British Special Boat Service and Special Air Service).
By the time of the Second Boer War against the United Kingdom, the Afrikaner commandos fought one of the classic guerrilla campaigns. 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 of prisoners of war.
