30th Assault Unit



The 30 Assault Unit (aka 30 Commando, 30AU, and "Ian Fleming's Red Indians") was a British multiservice combat unit in World War II that collected technical intelligence on German forces during amphibious landings. More specifically, the main operational role of the unit was to move ahead of Allied forces, or to undertake covert infiltrations into enemy territory by any means necessary, to capture intelligence in the form of documents; cipher, radio and radar equipment; weapons and personnel.
