Military history notes two uses of the name Operation Commando:

1. During the Korean War, Operation Commando was the last major U.N. attack. The U.S. I Corps (including four U.S. Divisions, the 1st Commonwealth Division and the First South Korean Division) seized the Jamestown Line destroying elements of the Forty-second, Forty-seventh, Sixty-fourth and Sixty-fifth Chinese Armies. This prevented the Communist forces from interdicting the U.N. supply lines near Seoul. The attack began on 3 October, 1952 and ended on 15 October, with a few hills south of the line still in Communist hands, requiring a follow-up operation, (Polecharge). As a result of this six-mile advance, the badly-mauled U.S. 1st Cavalry Division was withdrawn to Japan for refitting.

2. (U.S.) A reserved first word for the programs and projects of the United States Pacific Air Forces.
