| '''Commando''' was a shock troop role in the [[Covenant military|armed forces]] of the [[Covenant]] empire. The role was typically held by [[Kig-Yar]] soldiers, especially those of [[T'vaoan]] origin.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=241|Quote=T'vaoans, in particular, were utilized in distinctive shock troop roles, such as commando, murmillo, and champion.}}

| ==Overview==
| | The '''Skirmisher Commando'''<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''[[Halo: Reach Official Strategy Guide|Official Strategy Guide]]''</ref> is a [[Skirmisher]] rank in [[Covenant Empire|the Covenant]]. Commandos wear green armor and a helmet. Occasionally in combat, they will utilize [[Hologram]]s of themselves in order to fool their enemies in attacking it instead of them. |
| ===Role and responsibilities===
| |
| During the empire's reign, Commandos formed an elite part of the [[Skirmisher]] contingent that were deployed by the Covenant. Commandos were specifically trained and designed to form specialized combat [[file]]s and infantry hunter-killer units. They operate in discrete close-knit groups with extremely specific mission parameters. Other members of the Covenant military recognized Commandos on the battlefield for their incredibly proficient unit cohesion.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc11|Enc11|Page=157}}

|
| |
|
| It is unclear whether the Kig-Yar Commandos have any relation to the [[Commando Unit]] commissioned by the [[Sangheili]] in the Covenant's later years, or whether these units operated within the [[Special Warfare Group]] or [[Covenant Special Operations]].
| | Despite their title/rank as Commando's it is unknown whether they are a part of the [[Covenant Special Operations]] Forces, since previously only Elites and Grunts were known to be Spec Ops operators. |
| | |
| ===History===
| |
| The first Commandos were selectively picked from sectarian societies from the [[asteroid]]s that orbit [[Chu'ot]]. The Kig-Yar on these asteroids were sustained by [[Wikipedia:grey market|gray market]] trade and developed free from the government that dominated the Kig-Yar homeworld of [[Eayn]]. They were employed by the original [[Kig-Yar]] government's militia to fight off recurring looting and [[piracy]] that was common on the asteroids and other Kig-Yar colonies in an extremely ruthless and precise fashion. When the [[Covenant]] first arrived in the [[Y'Deio system]], the Commandos joined forces with the pirates in an attempt to fend off the intruders.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}

| ==Equipment==
| |
| Commandos generally wield the same weaponry and have the same armor ratings as lower-ranking [[Skirmisher Murmillo|Murmillones]]. Commandos wear olive-green armor and a helmet.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} Commandos are not equipped with [[energy shield]]s. Occasionally in combat, they will utilize [[Type-27 hologram|hologram]]s of themselves in order to fool their enemies in attacking it instead of them. Commandos are typically armed with [[plasma pistol]]s, [[needler]]s, {{Pattern|Gadulo|needle rifle}}s, and [[M'tara-pattern focus rifle|focus rifles]].{{Ref/Game|Id=gameplay|HR|[[Skirmisher Commando]] in-game unit}}
