commando raids
Covert military strikes
Commando raids are surprise military attacks by small, specially trained units operating behind enemy lines or in hostile territory.
The raids emphasize speed, precision, and withdrawal rather than holding ground: The commandos conducted raids on enemy supply depots throughout the occupation.
The term extends to any swift, targeted strike by a small team: corporate commando raids on rival talent.
