  Simple.A commando is a vocation, and he will still have to respect the rank of an officer.Anything else will make a mockery of our Army.

  rockhound is correct.
  
  Cuz infantry directive is different from commandos, as also they tactics and war strategy...etc. it may even go all the way different in ops, intelligences, manpower, transport, logistics, etc...
  
  so inf. officer lets say major or half-colonel normally dun cross over to go command a CDO battllion, cuz he may not know ways of battles pertaining to CDO style.
  
  While CDO offr, can always "down-grade" themselves and do conventional warfare.

  I think someone has already mentioned earlier. Commando is a unit, whereas officer is a rank. Each unit follow a chain of command Officer>Specialist>Men for effective relying of information or for better management of the organistion in peace and wartime operations. In layman terms, each unit has their own officers and specialists corp working together to safe guard the nation.

  'Downgrade' is a strong word here. I would use 'revocate' instead. Since the infantry and commando units run on two different set of doctrines, the likewise is also true. Respective revocationists may not be able to maximize their potential or faces new job difficulties in the new leadership assumed without sweating it out and knowing the modus operandi of the respective unit.
  A leader who has sweat and bleed with his men in any exercises or operations irrespective of unit would nonetheless gain the upmost respect than any other initial crossover.
