Republic Commandos

Overview

The Republic Commandos are one of the most elite special forces units within the Grand Army of the Republic. These clones, bred from birth for specialized tasks and operating in four-man squads, complete missions that entire platoons from battalions cannot. Being part of the Special Operations Brigade, they operate under a different command structure and are given the highest risk missions within the Republic. 

Commandos are equipped with Katarn-class armor bolstering full body regenerative shields; they utilize the DC-17m interchangeable weapon system to effectively counter a variety of enemies. All commandos are expected to have a great degree of mastery in the duties of demolitions, slicing, sharpshooting, and leadership when needed. Commandos specialize in these specific roles within their squads, with each squad having a specialty in different mission operations , there are currently seven of these specialized squads alongside an unspecialized detachment within RC.

And in this regard you will be superior to your more common brethren. For you are a commando, an elite unit, something truly special." ―Kaminoan Advisor Taun We
