The Light Commando Battalions (LCB) are commando units of the Pakistan Army, tasked with special operations and counter-terrorism. Each battalion is affiliated with, but not part of, a Pakistan Army infantry regiment, instead being part an army brigade. The Light Commando Battalions play a similar role to the US Army's Ranger Regiment.
