Whakakihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Ko te No. 2 Commando he roopu nui o te ope taua o Ingarangi i te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao. I hangaia te Commando No.2 tuatahi i te 22 o Pipiri 1940 mo te mahi parachute i Cambrai Barracks, Perham Down, tata ki Tidworth, Hants. I taua wa e wha nga ope: 'A', 'B', 'C' me 'D'. I te mutunga, 11 nga hoia i whakaarahia. I te 21 o Whiringa-a-rangi, i whakaingoatia ano hei 11th Special Air Service (SAS) Battalion ka mutu ka whakaingoatia ano hei 1st Parachute Battalion. Whai muri i to ratou whakaingoatanga ano hei 11th SAS Battalion, i hangaia he Commando Tuarua Nama 2. Ko tēnei Commando No. 2 te rōpū ārahi i te whakaekenga o St Nazaire, ā, he nui te mate i patua ai rātau. Ko te hunga i hoki mai i St Nazaire i hono atu ki te hunga torutoru kihai i haere ki te whakaekenga, a, i whakakahahia te commando e te whakauru tuatahi o nga kaihauturu mai i te Commando Basic Training Centre hou i Achnacarry. Katahi ka haere a No. 2 Commando ki te mahi i te Mediterranean,
Sicily, Yugoslavia, me Albania, i mua i te whakakorenga i te 1946.
