No. 2 Commando was a battalion-sized British Commando unit of the British Army during the Second World War. The first No.2 Commando was formed on 22 June 1940 for a parachuting role at Cambrai Barracks, Perham Down, near Tidworth, Hants. The unit at the time consisted of four troops: 'A', 'B', 'C' and 'D'. Eventually 11 troops were raised. On 21 November, it was re-designated as the 11th Special Air Service (SAS) Battalion and eventually re-designated 1st Parachute Battalion. After their re-designation as the 11th SAS Battalion, a second No. 2 Commando was formed. This No. 2 Commando was the leading commando unit in the St Nazaire Raid and suffered heavy casualties. Those who made it back from St Nazaire rejoined the few who had not gone on the raid, and the commando was reinforced by the

  • 2-й загін британських командос (англ. No. 2 Commando) — підрозділ спеціального призначення британських командос, що структурно входив до складу британської армії за часів Другої світової війни. Загін формувався протягом війни тричі. Вперше це сталося 22 червня 1940 року; для комплектування цього спеціального підрозділу, що призначався виключно для проведення десантних операцій з висадкою парашутним способом у тилу противника, набиралися добровольці з усіх родів військ британської армії. 21 листопада 1940 року сталося формування 2-го загону вдруге, через те, що підрозділ першого формування був перейменований на 11-й батальйон SAS, а пізніше на 1-й парашутний батальйон. 2-й загін вже був класичним підрозділом спеціальних операцій і готувався по відповідній програмі.
