  • 「レイフォース」(英語: Layforce)は、第二次世界大戦期におけるイギリス陸軍の、いくつかのコマンド部隊から構成された即製軍部隊であった。1941年2月に大佐の指揮下に編成されて当人にちなんで命名され、およそ2,000名を擁して中東戦域で任務に就いた。当初は地中海地域における枢軸軍の後方連絡線を分断する襲撃作戦を割り当てられており、ギリシャのロドス島を奪取する作戦に加わることが計画されていた。 しかし戦域の戦略的状況が連合国にとって不利となり、各コマンド部隊は当初の役割から大きく逸れて、主に地中海戦線一帯で通常部隊を増強するために用いられた。部隊の傘下戦力は、クレタ島、シリア、トブルクで活動し、そして1941年8月に解隊された。その後の各構成員は以前の部隊へ戻るか、あるいは中東で設立された他の特殊部隊で任務に就いた。 (ja)
