עוד תימוכין לכך שמדובר במורשת של הקומנדו הבריטי ממלחמת העולם השנייה:
ציטוט:
Training eventually centred at Achnacarry Castle. The term “Commando Training” soon became the byword for the finest and most thorough military training for fitness and skill. The area around the castle provided the finest natural opportunities for hard training which included mountain climbing - Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles. There was rope crossing of fast flowing rivers, canoe and diving training in Loch Lochy, with practice beach landings. Men were teamed in pairs to face arduous challenges as teams - through marshland, snow, heather, rocks, water…whatever presented itself, regardless of weather conditions. Unarmed combat was a key and critical part of the course, with night training, developing skills to use terrain for concealment and silent approach.
Hand to hand combat taught close quarters attack & defence; weapons training with knives and small arms taught both skill and a fighting spirit which was instilled upon all taking this course. After 6 weeks of intense training, Commandos would be entitled to wear the coveted green beret and be proud to be part of an elite force.

תימוכין נוסף לנ"ל, והפעם בהקשר של ההיסטוריה של היחידה המיוחדת של צבא הולנד:
ציטוט:
In 1942, 48 Dutch military personnel started the Commando course in Achnacarry, Scotland. In the end, 25 of them received their green berets. These men formed No. 2 (Dutch) Troop, which was part of No. 10 (Interallied) Commando

מידע נוסף לגבי הנ"ל באותו הקשר הולנדי:
ציטוט:
In the meantime men are recruited in the liberated South of Holland to go through the commando training in Scotland. Of the 107 recruits who leave for Achnacarry on the 19th of November 1944, 72 manage to gain the green beret.

מסורת מסע הכומתה הירוקה נשמרת עד ימינו באותה יחידה הולנדית אשר שורשיה ההיסטורים נטועים בנ"ל.
לגבי ההקשר הצהל"י, אני במקומך הייתי מנסה להתחקות אחר יחידות קומנדו יהודיות אשר מצויין לגביהן שהתאמנו במרכז האימונים של הקומנדו בAchnacarry, סקוטלנד, למשל:
