-The '''Skirmisher Commando''' is a rank held by a select number of [[Kig-Yar]] [[T'vaoan]]s in the [[Covenant military]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach Official Strategy Guide]]'''</ref> Commandos are essentially the special operations division of the Skirmisher contingent.<ref name="HE157">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 157''</ref>
+==Overview==
+===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}}
-==Description==
+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]].
-Skirmisher Commandos are a part of the [[T'vaoan]] Skirmisher contingent that are deployed by the [[Covenant]]. Commandos are specifically trained and designed to form specialized combat [[file]]s and infantry hunter-killer units. Commandos operate in discrete close-knit groups with extremely specific mission parameters. Other members of the [[Covenant military]] recognize Commandos on the battlefield for their incredibly proficient unit cohesion.
-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|HE157}}

 ==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|HE157}} 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, [[needle rifle]]s, and [[Type-52 focus rifle|focus rifles]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''gameplay''</ref>
