Описание: Circa 2004 Operator made unit video featuring clips and images from 4 RAR (Commando).

4th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, Commando, was an Australian Army unit, formed in 1997 from the delinked 2nd/4th Battalion, that served as a generalist special forces unit specialising in direct action/seize and strike missions and amphibious operations based out of Holsworthy, New South Wales.

Australian Army doctrine specifies that the role of commando units is to "span the gap between conventional infantry operations and unconventional operations", focusing on advanced force operations and direct action missions.

4RAR (Cdo) had a structure including Tactical Assault Group East (TAG-E) for domestic counter-terrorism/special recovery operations and commando companies. 4RAR (Cdo) participated in numerous operations in East Timor and Iraq before as well as Afghanistan where they deployed as part of the Special Operations Task Group (SOTG) starting in 2005.

On 19 June 2009 the battalion was renamed the 2nd Commando Regiment. At that time, 4 RAR remained on the order of battle, with its colours and traditions maintained and protected, ready to be re-raised as a regular infantry battalion in the future if required.
