Commando represents <l:6,114>special forces<e> of the <l:6,111>Nuclear Age<e>. Similarly to the medieval <l:1,66>Ranger<e>, his main role is stealth reconnaissance, but unlike her he is also a decent combatant. He can perform a <l:6,44>paradrop<e>, so you can deploy him rapidly almost anywhere on the planet in the matter of a few turns. He can scout ahead of your armies, destroy enemy infrastructure or, as some would suggest, mop up after an intercontinental nuclear barrage. The Commando is a <l:6,120>stealth unit<e> (Commando type obviously), which allows him to hide from regular armies. All those abilities do not come cheap though, as Commando is quite an expensive unit to build.
