So I think this article was renamed when the NSyA had just turned into MaT and it wasn’t clear how they were going to transliterate them name in English.
Almost all sources, including the rebels themselves, refer to the group as “Maghaweir al-Thowra”. “Revolutionary Commando Army” is not even an accurate translation of this name, and a more accurate one would be “Commandos of the Revolution”. “Army” is only a postfix sometimes used by the rebels themselves, but whenever they use the term, they translate it to English as “The Maghaweir al-Thowra Army”.
I’m planning on changing the group’s wiki page to “Maghaweir al-Thowra unless there is a consensus against it.
