Commando Troop

The Commando Troop (コマンド兵) is a set of stage enemies from Strider 2, featured in the PlayStation-exclusive "Mission 00", El Dorado.

A military-trained unit serving the Light Sword Cypher organization, the Commando Troops are highly efficient soldiers with knowledge in a variety of weapons and skills, including rock-climbing and rappel. They wield camo-patterned uniforms, bandannas and present war paint on their faces and bodies.

The troops were sent as a survey team to South America, in order to find the location of the ancient ruins of El Dorado, which is Grandmaster Meio's resting place. Investigating the area, Hiryu discovers their presence and engages them in a fight to reach the temple ruins first. Hiryu later learns his former friend Hien was at the lead in this mission.
