30 Commando AU

In Sep 1942, the Director of Naval Intelligence authorised the formation of the Special Intelligence Unit, composed of 33 (Royal Marines) Troop, 34 (Army) Troop, 35 (RAF) Troop and 36 (Royal Navy) Troop. The Special Intelligence Unit was later renamed 30 RN Commando (Special Engineering Unit), and was redesignated 30 Assault Unit in December 1943

When the unit was redesignated as 30 Assault Unit the troop numbers were changed to A, B, and X troops, with an additional HQ troop. They were then billeted at Littlehampton.
