Featured Highlight｜ Other Products ｜Commandos Support Group (Small Box)

More popularly known for the daring raiding parties that terrorised Britain's Axis foes, by the war's end the British Commandos were comprised of nationalities such as French, Dutch and Greek and become a force of over thirty units and four assault brigades.
Wearing their famous green berets the Commandos relied on two rugged support weapons - the water-cooled Vickers medium machine gun and 3" medium mortar.
HQ
The middle ranks of officers were almost invariably drawn from the upper-middle classes: educated in the public schools, instilled with the values of empire, and imbued with a sense of confidence, duty and resolve that is difficult to conceive of today. An officer unit consists of the man himself and can include up to two other men acting as his immediate attendants.
FOO
Forward observers are liaison officers responsible for coordinating the attack of heavy artillery batteries from behind the lines or aircraft strikes.
Medium Machine Gun Team
A .303 Vickers water-cooled machine gun offered fire support to infantry units. This was another weapon of World War I vintage that soldiered on through World War II and beyond, proving extremely effective at laying down continuous fire over a long range. A typical team consisted of a lance corporal gunner, a loader and an ammunition bearer.
Medium Mortar Team
The 3-inch mortar was used to provide support from up to 3,000 yards dependent upon the projectile used. The 3-inch mortar was operated by a crew of 3.
