If I comment it enough one day you will go back and re-read republic commando to realize that Etain is a Jedi Knight by the time of Triple Zero. She was a padawan in Hard Contact but as is blatantly stated at the start of Triple Zero she had passed the trials and become a Jedi Knight during the period between the books.

there was a comic of something similar in the 2003 clone wars style comics. Not sure if they were called H.O.P.E. squad or H.O.P.E. trooper, but H.O.P.E. was the acronym

So, Tark Squad wasn't a regular commando unit in the GAR, they were actually a group of Thrysian mercenaries trained to infiltrate the Republic by the Sun Guard, Sarsius Torne. Tark Squad was made to try and capture Anakin Skywalker as part of a deal with Darth Sidious.

[@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem]

2:49 Both the armor and weapons there look to be a mix of Halo and the Commandos.

[@shivmag8175]

Imagine giving up years of life to training just to have the jedi get you killed in open field combat. Scratch that, imagine living your life, being recruited to train commandos, whilst your family and friends think you're dead only to have the commandos you sacrificed time and effort to train, get wiped out by jedi incompetence, leading them into open combat. Mate, I'd be pissed.

[@Mega-P71]

ARC troopers are exactly like Rangers and here is why. 1. Null ARCs and 72nd Ranger Battalion are very similar. Not only do both receive specialized training but the way they're deployed into combat is very similar. This bit comes from the US Army and describes the 72nds role: "Their capabilities include conducting airborne and air assault operations, seizing key terrain such as airfields, destroying strategic facilities, and capturing or killing enemies of the nation." These are exactly the types of missions we see the Null ARCs carrying out. 2. So what about ARCs like Fives, Rex, and Jesse and other ARCs outside the Nulls? In the US Army there are also Rangers who serve in other units. This is a similarity that only works with the US Army Rangers. 3. In Star Wars we see commanders like Gree, Cody, and Fox go through ARC training. Again this is another comparison that only works with the Army Rangers. The US Army has a program called the IBOLC which is a program that trains Army Lieutenants and includes Ranger school. So yes, ARCs and Rangers have unique similarities and makes for the best comparison. This information comes from my father who completed Ranger school and served inside the 82nd Airborne. I'm other words, trust me bro ;)

To me, the clone commando with the biggest guys will always be Darman. Why? Because the idea of the adult with the brain of a nine-year-old boy knocked up a teenage Jedi Padawan will be the greatest achievement any clones could have ever done.

Wanna know real world history that inspired that? The SAS in WW2. Literal band of heroes in North Africa, demo’d airbase after airbase and had Romel chasing his tail until yanks showed up to break stalemate…then they were deployed in mainline action and almost entire “starting line up” was KIA. Good book tells their story published in recent history, highly recommend.

I've seen people compare Clone Commandos to US Navy SEALS, and ARC Troopers to US Army Rangers. Wonder how accurate this is, in practice 🤔

[@Captain_Insano_nomercy]

If you want a super honest answer (I'm a Marine veteran who worked with both groups) there isn't really a neat and clean comparison, but Rangers are just elite infantry like us Marines, however SEALs and Green Berets are closer to true commandos. ARC troopers don't have a real world equivalent in my opinion, but I would say Green Berets would be closest

[@empire-classfirenationbatt2691]

​@Captain_Insano_nomercy I want to compare ARC troopers to CIA SAD as an example. Commandos worked in teams but ARCs were more often than not alone. I imagine someone on the level of your tier 1 units mixed with the going behind the lines as a one man asset.

[@Captain_Insano_nomercy]

@empire-classfirenationbatt2691 Yeah, that wouldn't be a bad comparison actually, ARCs are shot callers and CIA attachments might be the closest thing

[@Lawrence_Talbot]

Idk why my comment got deleted, but when you beat the game you unlocked Behind the scenes content. One of the videos showed how the devs contracted an actual special forces trainer to show them how a unit would move, engage enemies, use hand signals, breach a room etc. So there is some real life comparison to what the commandos did, granted it’s almost 20 years old so tactics and technology change so it probs isn’t indicative of modern spec ops tactics.

[@robertstaats7839]

​@@Captain_Insano_nomercyMarines were not considered elite infantry, they are specialized in amphibious assaults.... That's not being elite, and most vets would highly disagree that they are elite, they get the hand me downs, gave up the tanks, and they just acted as regular infantry anyways during ww2, they were just forced to do things basically.

[@channel_marker]

To say they were not "trained" for battle alongside clone troopers is not correct. They can fight as an infantry force but their skills and lives are wasted in this role. The deaths were down to the General's misuse of the commandos themselves as they treated the entire GAR as cannon fodder to just throw troops at the enemy.

[@freddycrewger]

We compare US Spec Ops to each other all the time. Rather it’s Air Force PJ’s or Combat Control, Navy SEALs, Marine MARSOC or Force Recon, or Army CAG, Green Beret, or Ranger. They all can do each other’s jobs at the end of the day. Let’s take the best ARC trooper and best Commando. That’s Fordo and Boss in my opinion. Send each on a solo mission and that mission will be executed flawlessly. BUT! ARC troopers are more versatile soldiers because they’re battlefield enablers for Jedi and infantry. Fives was a perfect example of this in the Umbara ARC and when they were finding Tup (that’s why he’s the ARC trooper). Commandos are only trained to work with each other. Random infantry units will get them killed (mainly the Jedi in charge).
