Private commandos

I was kind of led to believe that the term 'commando' was a military one. But yet again, what do I know? Since I keep saying this all the time, it can't be a lot :-)

Story:
India -- With the threat of Maoist violence looming over public and private firms in Jharkhand, more and more private commandos are being hired to provide security cover to corporate top brass.

'Most business houses and mine owners hire us because they fear attacks from Maoists and criminals,' said Dinesh Singh, a karate expert who heads a commando team.

He added that the commandos not only undergo stiff army style training but also martial techniques. 'We train them in survival tactics,' said Singh.

'Most of our group members are either karate experts or proficient in taekwondo,' he added.
