A commando attack is a type of military operation in which a small group of highly trained soldiers, usually from a special forces unit, conduct a surprise attack on an enemy target. The term 'commando attack' is derived from the Dutch word 'kommando, ' which means 'small-scale military unit.' In this context, a RAID is a type of commando attack in which the goal is to quickly enter an area, capture or destroy a target, and then quickly withdraw.
