Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I hangaia e te Ope Taua o Ahitereiria nga roopu commando, e mohiotia ana ko nga kamupene motuhake o Ahitereiria i nga waahanga tuatahi o te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao. I kite tuatahi rātau i te mahi i te tīmatanga o te tau 1942 i te wā o te whakaekenga a Hapani ki New Ireland, ā, i te
Te Pakanga o Timora. Ko tetahi waahanga o te 2/1st Independent Company i whakangaromia i New Ireland, engari i runga i a Timor, ko te 2/2nd Independent Company te ngakau o te kaha o te Allied i uru atu ki nga ope a Iapani i roto i te pakanga guerilla. I whakatauritea e te kaihautū Hapanihi i te moutere ki te Pakanga Boer, a i whakatau ka hiahiatia he 10: 1 te painga o te maha ki te patu i nga Allies. Ko te pakanga i aro atu ki te wehenga katoa o Hapani mo te tata ki te tau. Ko nga kamupene motuhake i muri mai ka whakaingoatia hei commando squadrons, a ka kite ratou i te mahi whanui i te Rohe o te Moananui-a-Kiwa o te Moananui-a-Kiwa, ina koa i New Guinea me Borneo. I te 1943, ko nga roopu commando katoa engari ko te 2/2 me te 2/8 i whakahiatohia ki te 2/6th, 2/7th me te 2/9th Cavalry Commando Regiments.
