The use of 30th Assault Unit, as opposed to 30 Commando Assault Unit is actually incorrect. It started off from NID30 (Naval Intelligence Division) based in room 30 of the Admiralty Citadel, then a field unit of NID30 was named 30 Commando Special Engineering Unit. Patrick Dalzel-Job(e) who was a Naval Special Agent attached to 30AU always referred to the unit (incorrectly) as 30th Assault Unit. But the correct title has is always been 30 Commando Assault Unit. Then because it was such small unit it could not be accepted as a full Commando brigade so the Commando was dropped. Which left 30 Assault Unit. Which was also amended towards the end of the war to 30 Advance Unit. But never with (th). http://www.30AU.co.uk

I moved the page to 30 Assault Unit. maxrspct ping me 18:14, 31 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

A quick search on Google books shows the name as No.30 Commando which was then changed to 30 Assault Unit.[[1]] For consistency with all other British Commando units I have changed the name to No. 30 Commando then the text documents the name change to 30 Assault Unit.--Jim Sweeney (talk) 08:13, 1 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Unit name at Dieppe edit

According to the research by O' Keefe, the unit was called/part of 40 Commando at Dieppe, only gaining the name 30AU when officially formed after Dieppe.

Should this article be updated to recognise this?
