Clone commando

"Impressive. Gregor, your designation is CC-5576-39. You were a captain and part of an elite squad. A clone commando."

- Colonel Meebur Gascon to "Gregor"

The clone commandos, alternitvely known as the Republic commandos or Clone Republic Commandos, were the elite clone trooper of the Grand Army of the Republic.

History
Five commando units under Clone Commander Ponds were sent as part of the army supplied by the Kaminoans for the First Battle of Geonosis. During the battle, they served under the command of Jedi Master Mace Windu.

The Jedi Counci later sent Delta Squad to investigate the massacre on Devaron, retrieving Master Halsey's and his apprentice Knox's bodies.

Captain "Gregor," the leader of Foxtrot Group, took part in the Battle of Sarrish. Gregor went missing in action, ending up on Abafar with amnesia. He was discovered by Colonel Meebur Gascon and D-Squad. Gregor then decided to assist Gascon and his squad to escape.

While putting down an insurrection on Yalvik Prime, Clone Force 99, also known as the "Bad Batch", was summoned by Commander Cody during a battle for Anaxes to assist him and Clone Captain Rex in ascertaining the secret behind Admiral Trench's strategies. However, matters escalated when Wrecker, the team's bruiser, cut off the Yalvik queen's stinger with a blade, causing multiple Yalvik males to attempt to mate with the clones. However, the team was able to escape to Anaxes aboard their gunship, the Havoc Marauder.

Clone Force 99
Clone Force 99 was a squad of unorthodox clone commandos born with "desirable" genetic mutations that made them superior soldiers, but also altered their individual appearances.

Delta Squad
Delta Squad was a Republic commando squad that was dispatched to Devaron and recovered the bodies of a Jedi and his Padawan that had been killed there. The squad was composed of "Boss", "Fixer", "Scorch", and "Sev".>

Foxtrot Group
Foxtrot Group, led by Captain CC-5576-39, was an elite squad of clone commandos attached to the 212th Attack Battalion. Their leader was reported missing in action during the Battle of Sarrish.

Behind the scenes
"I have five special commando units awaiting your orders, sir."

- "Ponds" to Mace Windu

Clone commandos were first mentioned in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones indirectly during the Battle of Geonosis. The concept of clone commandos was introduced within the Star Wars Expanded Universe novel The Cestus Deception and the characters were later heavily featured in the game Star Wars: Republic Commando and associated media, as well as a number of other Expanded Universe products. These titles, however, have been re-branded as Star Wars Legends and are no longer considered canon. Clone commandos were introduced into Star Wars canon through Star Wars: The Clone Wars, first seen with Delta Squad in "Witches of the Mist." "Missing in Action" featured CC-5576-39, specifically referred to as a "clone commando," but suffering from amnesia and working as a dishwasher.
