Quoted from an oxford press editor(home of the oxford dictionary)

"Asked for a personal favourite from the new phrases, Stevenson cited "go commando," which the dictionary says means to go out wearing no underwear. "We got it from the TV series Friends," he said, "and then we tracked it back to American college slang in the mid-'80s, and we reasoned that that's when the writers of Friends were probably at college. It could have been a private joke in a small group about commandos being too rough and ready to wear underpants ... it's turned into a phrase that is recognised by a global audience."

from what i hear, "going commando" is a reference to the military guys going without underwear underneath their fatigues to prevent rashes.
