Following the Firestorm Crisis and the deactivation of the majority of the cyborg army, Nod needed a replacement for their Cyborg Commando units, which were nigh unstoppable, but had to be scrapped following CABAL's revolt. To this end Nod began to train their own human Commandos, who have to undergo a training regime one can only describe as "sadistic". Instead of being men with heavy armour and powerful weapons, these are women trained to use their agility and speed to accomplish mission objectives. Due to the high standards, few commandos were available during the war; typically, commanders were only allowed to have one on the battlefield at a time. They are also fanatically loyal to Kane; in fact, a commando shot one of her comrades dead after he spoke out against Kane, during a mission in the Italian Hills. | |||
They are an equal match when upgraded against GDI counterparts. Nod commandos are also armed with detonation packs, which are extremely effective against structures, but prefer laser handguns, which can cut through infantry. The heat and power of the lasers are also capable of slicing through light vehicles, such as the Pitbull. They also have portable stealth generators, and can cloak themselves when standing still. The commando training program is under the jurisdiction of the Black Hand of Nod, and so Black Hand commanders have increased access to more experienced commandos. | |||
Nod's Commandos were vital to the Brotherhood's war effort during the Third Tiberium War. First, a single commando managed to infiltrate Hampton Roads Naval Base and sink the aircraft carrier GDS Pathe in order to establish air superiority. Later, the commando was vital to the retrival of vitally needed components for Kane's Liquid Tiberium Bomb. Also, they were deployed several times into Italy during the later stages of the Scrin Invasion. | |||
