sadly because of the current politicization of the army, the commando regiment no longer protect the army commander. It is a slap in the face for maroon berets however, all gave some and some gave all.
further commando use H&K MP5 automatic and also in some cases Uzi mini rifles. Browning HP as side arm and a whole assortment of bad ass weapons. Our commando's have probably one of the most distinctive and sharp uniform from most commando outfits world wide. Also not some commando's who based outside their mother camp may sport a full grown beard. As is the case with Special Forces.....
This commando was in such a hurry he forgot his boots, uniform and personal weapon. So he did the intelligent thing by reaching for an iron rod it seems. Fortunately he seems to have a uniformed "body guard: who forgot his balls.
