South Africa. During the Boer War, the Boers used small mobile units called commandos to hit and run against the British. About forty years later the British formed special units to harass the Germans behind their lines in World War 2. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill had been a war correspondent in the Boer War, and the new British units reminded him of the Boer commandos, so that is what he named them.
