Sounds interesting.

May I be so bold as to suggest more than jsut one squad? Otherwise you
have
no tactical/game  flexibility. A single squad would be okay in a
Skirmish
game as you actually have 6/7/8 elements to move. One squad doesn't
allow
you to deliver the shock impact of striking at multiple targets
simultaneously, providing fire support for withdrawing, cut-off/ambush
En
Ready Reaction force etc.

All Veterans for the Commandos; after all most Commandos are not quite
in
the same category as what we consider the more elite/special forces eg
British 42 Commandoes, Aussie 4 RAR (Commando) are just well motivated
and
differently trained to the Regular Army; weapon handling/battlecraft
skills
are pretty much the same.
