Help please. What does the SSS stand for on the map symbol for Commando forces?
Thanks in advance.
I'm not certain but according to NATO AAP 6 the SSS means marines rather than commando specifically, the waves modifier shows amphibious capabilty and can be added to any kind of unit. I would imagine that the S probably stands for Sea that bit is a complete guess though. Hopefully someone who knows will be able to give us the actual answer.
Except NATO is now on APP-6A

You may laugh but in WW2 they wanted to be called Special Service units but obviously 'SS' title wouldn't have gone down to well. Hence they changed to SSS.
