Pentagon to Increase "Commandos"

This must have been written by a Brit, since the correct term for America is Special Forces. From Bloomberg:

The Pentagon wants to increase U.S. commando forces, including special terrorist-hunting units, by almost a fourth through 2011.
The Pentagon's long-range budget recommends adding about 12,000 military and civilian personnel to the Special Operations Command, which now numbers 51,000. The Command is the military's lead force in the global war on terror; the increases are outlined in a memo to service secretaries and regional combat commanders signed by Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England.

And they are getting the funds to do it:

England, in his Dec. 20 memo, says the Pentagon wants to add $7.4 billion to buy equipment to enhance the Command's ``air and ground mobility, special weapons, tactical communications, combat logistics and military construction.''
...The budget of the Tampa, Florida-based Special Forces has almost doubled under Bush -- growing to $6.6 billion in fiscal 2006 from $3.6 billion in fiscal 2000. England would add the $7.4 billion to increases already planned through fiscal 2011.
