The Marine Commandos ((アラビア語:مغاوير البحر ''Maghāwīr al Baħr'') = "marine commandos"/"commandos of the sea"; singular مَغْوَار ''maghwār'' = Levantine Arabic "commando", from غَارَ ''ghāra'' = "he invaded"; البحر = al Baħr = of the sea) are an elite unit of the Lebanese Navy. They are part of the Lebanese Special Operations Command. 〔http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2742/is_1998_March/ai_n25025475 Lebanon's Finest Present A United Front〕 Established with assistance from the United States Navy SEALs and the British Royal Marines and tasked with conducting variety of missions particularly in a maritime environment from sabotage, raids, beach landings and maritime counter-terrorism. The Marine Commandos were established in 1997, then got their administrative independence in July 2001. ==History== Until 1997, the only Special Operations Force in Lebanon was the Commando Regiment. However, in 1997, as part of the reconstruction and the modernization of the Lebanese Army, the army command decided to establish a designated regiment for Maritime Special operations. Contacts to establish and train this new multi-purpose special unit started by approaching the U.S. and by contacting the UK Ministry of Defense. Eventually a number of officer candidates were sent to train with the Royal Marines in the UK. Lower ranks were put through their paces in Lebanon by Royal Marine commandos especially imported for the task. On the other hand, it is confirmed that the U.S. Navy SEALs contributed in the training in both U.S. and Lebanon.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marine Commandos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
