I wonder if "conventional" and "unconventional" actually mean anything these days and what that means for "traditional" organisations. The commando approach seems to me to typify the kind of small unit battles troops find themselves in. In many ways the old Commando organisation prefigures the distributed operations stuff that came out of the USMC.
