The 5 Elite Clone ARC TROOPER Classes Explained 

One better have been fordo

He should cover Specforce

501 is a legion, it has about 10 thousand full strength soldiers. Many units have ARC recruits, which are Echo, Fives, Jesse. ARC recruits are almost no different from regular infantry, they are not even close to being trained as even galactic infantrymen are, and you can keep silent about ARF clones. ARC recruits are in fact just heavy infantry, and nothing more. Rex is a full-fledged ARC. due to the fact that it does not have the genetic modifications inherent in full-fledged ARCs, but has their level of training. So 4 ARC per legion costs nothing at all, it is much more effective to have 1 ARF clone than 5 ARC recruits.

@@chopper3940 Echo, Fives and Jesse aren't Arc recruits, they're fully fledged Arcs. Arcs are actually better trained than ARF troopers, and ARF troops are trained to do reckon missions, not do what Arcs do. You don't know a damn thing, now do you, and legions actually only consists of 9,500 troops at most, not 10 thousand

@@chopper3940 and it isn't actually more efficient to have 1 ARF trooper, and Arcs has never been heavy infantry. You don't even know what Arcs are, i can tell. Arcs are actually different from infantry, as Arc Troopers are actually special forces, not infantry soldiers. And Arcs do actually get way mire training than infantrymen get.

@@Chisszaru Oh, it would be better if you didn’t answer me... There are 2 types of ARC: 1. Full-fledged ARCs, such as null, alphas and clone commanders. These are full-fledged ARC clones. You can become a full-fledged ARC clone only by being born one from the very beginning, your genetic modifications are adjusted to the ARC class, such clones have been trained under the ARC program for 10 years. Clone commanders also have the ARC class, but their training was closely coordinated with the army command. 2. ARC recruits are clones who have proven themselves on the battlefield in some way and have been noticed. These are the most ordinary clones who were born by the most ordinary Mekhotians, who are Echo, Fives and Jesse. Such clones, after receiving permission to be promoted to ARC recruit, undergo additional training lasting less than six months, where during this time they are taught the most basic things. After completing training, such clones are almost no better than ordinary infantry, which is why they were used as field troops, and did not perform special tasks, like full-fledged ARCs. ARC is actually better than ARF, full ARC is better than any type of clone troopers in the republic army. Here the topic is about recruits, which are Echo, Fives and Jesse. As I already mentioned, recruits are almost no better than regular soldiers. In turn, ARF clones can be compared to RC clones for field use. Ordinary clones cannot become an ARF clone, ARF clones undergo thorough training, they are taught a huge number of tactics and schemes, they are trained to use a variety of weapons, including those of the enemy. The ARF can act as a vanguard and rearguard, cover the main forces, perform reconnaissance in force, carry out sabotage, be snipers, perform reconnaissance, and much more. Also, ARF clones can use RPS, many different types of detonators, their equipment is much wider than that of a regular clone or ARC recruit. ARF clones are also trained in survival skills and can fight for long periods of time separately from the supply line. It is true that having 1 ARC is more promising than an ARF squad, but this only applies to full-fledged ARCs, and recruits such as Echo, Fives and Jesse and 1 ARF are not worth it. You are generally stupid and don’t understand what I wrote to you or what you are writing to me right now. FULL ARC ARE SPECIAL FORCES. ARC RECRUITS ARE REGULAR INFANTRY, WITH BETTER EQUIPMENT. AND NOTHING MORE. Equating recruits like Echo, Fawz and Jesse with full-fledged ARCs is like equating a new recruit with a seasoned and experienced veteran. In general, I can only advise you not to disgrace yourself and not answer me anymore, talking complete nonsense, but go and read about ARC and ARF, or better yet, just delve a little deeper into the lore of the clone wars, so as not to carry such nonsense. And also, the full composition of the legion of clones: 9 216 - sweet clones 1,024 - clone sergeants 256 - clone lieutenants 64 - clone captain 16 - clone battalion commander 4 - clone regiment commander 1 - clone commander A total of 10,581 clones. So come on, buddy, don’t embarrass yourself and go learn the theoretical part.

@@chopper3940 the only dumb one is you, and the only one embarassing himself is you, and the only one who needs to learn the theoretical stuff is you. A clone legion doesn't actually consist of 10,000 troops, i've checked Wookiepedia, and it only consists of 9,500 clones in total. And ordinary clones can actually become ARF and Arc troopers. There's a buttload of ordinary clones who managed to become both. And the only one bringing disgrace and nonsense is you. I actually know more about the lore than you, because i always read on Wookiepedia, even better, i've even gotten all the information from LucasFilm, the people who made Star Wars the Clone Wars, so what i said cones straight from the creators of the Clone Wars themselves and from Wookiepedia, where everything Star Wars is to be known

Uh, pretty much yeah Edit: Technically they could have killed the whole republic, or whole empire whenever they wanted. They didn't kill the Republic because their father Kal Skirata was searching to reverse the accelerated aging

I guess so yeah lol

If you read the Republic Commando books it shows it would’ve been even easier than you think. The Nulls had several programs that ran through republic systems which gathered them intel and the likes, as well as more personal things, like a program that would go and take 1 or 2 credits from accounts registered in republic systems, small enough to not be noticed by the account owner, but from enough accounts to make them trillionares. The Nulls could do whatever they wanted, they just didn’t want to take down the republic and withdrew when the empire took over so they could go totally off the grid on Mandalore.

If that's the case then the droid army B1s and B2s will be BX commandos and B3 Ultra Battle Droid, minimum.

Comparing clones from star wars and real units is incorrect. ARC, RC, ARF, and any other clone units have a much higher level of training than any comparison you would expect. All these clones are trained much more thoroughly, better, they have genetic modifications, and the range of their tasks is several times higher than that of any unit from the real world.

I may not have served, but my daddy did his 20 as a soldier so I might be able to give a some insight. Your essentially correct with your assumptions and correlations. ARCS are more of an overall combination of our “special forces.” I’d say their akin with the Green Berets, Seals, and SWCC. Commandos without a doubt would be our equivalent to Delta Forces (and maybe PJ’s) ARCS as you know run in their own units typically, but do rotate into regular units to assume command or needed assistance. Commandos run solo ops in their small, confined squads. They’re simply too elite to pair up with any regs, They would also often partake in “suicide” rescue missions to rescue Jedi, or other spec ops soldiers in need of assistance. (Only instance we canonically know about commandos helping regs is, CF99 fighting alongside Rex, Cody, Jessie, Kix, Echo in CW season 7) I probably worded things poorly, missing a few key things…but nonetheless I hope this helps a lil.

@@bootysnatcher4207 thanks for the insight. Mostly what I've learned is from movies and a bit of research but movies aren't always accurate. I'm grateful for the information and your dad's service.

Yeah, Rangers are elite light infantry & would be more analogous to the 501st. Commandos are modeled after special operations groups like Delta, SEALs, etc. There’s a lot of overlap in training & skillset here so they aren’t exactly like a specific unit. ARCs are one-man army super soldiers, so there’s no real world equivalent to that. Especially since we see them doing everything from commanding fleet battles and ground battles, to fighting directly on the front lines and also doing covert missions. And obviously in real life that’d be done by four different people.

I can agree calling them rangers cus there’s sorta two types of rangers. There’s those in the ranger regiment, that entire unit is made up of rangers and is elite. The second some people don’t consider to be rangers and thats those who attend ranger school which is leadership school which will award you with a ranger tab but send you back to your unit. If we were to say that the 501st were an elite unit then yeah id say they’re the ranger regiment. Now individual clones going through arc training like five, echo, or even red could be considered having their ranger tab since they went through their equivalent of ranger school, becoming”rangers” then returning to their unit with their new found skill. Additionally the arc training they went through is similar to ranger school since it does teach them some leadership qualities considering they become at least a Lt afterwards.

Arc troopers are more like Marine Force recon, same navy seal training, more covert missions though.

SEAL Team 6/DEVGRU is T1 under JSOC, the other SEAL teams are T2.

@@Tarooo89was coming here to say this

Seals are pussys compared to every other Special Unit from other Countrys

Kinda ironic how the geneticists of the galaxy is German oriented😂

Fives and Echo were regular ARC recruiters, they differed from regular combat units only in slightly better training because they had taken the ARC express course. They were not some kind of elite, they were ordinary combat units with increased combat capability.

One Man Army is like Alpha Class or maybe even Null Class ARC. While those other so called ARC are just above average tier troopers who had their training.

@nicaln5104 But imagine if they probably had this happen, all Null-class ARCs would show signs of rapid aging, they would live long enough, they would overwhelm the Empire like this, along with a squad of Omega clone commandos, that would be cool, I just adore Null-class ARC, Squad Omega Clone Commandos

@RedFiveStarWars

If these are reasons for someone who is poorly versed in the topic, then that’s fine. And so, ARC clones are the best combat unit in the clone army. RCs fall short in preparation and flexibility. Clone commanders are essentially a separate type of ARC, whose emphasis was on command, and not on performing special tasks, such as null, alphas, and so on.

ARCs also had significantly lower lifespan and Commandos were technically the original one man army. The Katarn Armor worn by commandos was worth 100k credits, had the same modularity as clone armor, and could protect you similarly to beskar minus durability. Even inheriting a post war career as a mercenary or imperial (Commandos unlike clones were highly valued for training)

No, los comando obedecieron las ordenes fueron los ARC los que no las obedece y los ARC tambien hacen trabajo de equipo.

Exactly also berets tend to work in way smaller teams.

can’t really say SEALs are better than Rangers when they don’t even have the same job. Rangers are a land based light infantry unit that have a focus on direct action. SEALs is a maritime unit their main job is to take care of sea based threats and to insert to AOs through water infiltration. Rangers are often used to support tier 1 elements like delta due to their extreme effectiveness in direct action and hostage rescue operations. Also the becoming a green beret isn’t “harder” than becoming a Ranger. RASP is about twice as long as SFAS and is a lot more physically oriented. Then ontop of that even if you pass RASP you can just as easily get kicked out of the regiment. Many vets have said staying in the ranger regiment is a lot more physically demanding than getting in.

​@@pineappleman6331stop spewing bs out your ass 😂, RASP is NOT longer than SFAS. RASP is TWO months, SFAS is closer to a year lol. SEALs primary mission is direct action, but Rangers are basically JSOC and SOCOMs infantry assets that support other SOF units as well as carry out their own missions. Rangers have the shortest training pipeline among the SOF units.

@@pineappleman6331 Well Rangers aren't SF and that's the key defining difference. Rangers are effectively just better infantry, SF is its own thing. SFAS is significantly more challenging (RASP being longer doesn't mean anything here), and it has a higher failure rate. SF groups do significantly more unique tasks. Like you said, Rangers support Tier 1, which is CAG or DEVGRU. SEALs or SF will never support Rangers, it will effectively always be the other way around. Also I'm not sure how you can claim SEALs focus on water infiltration given our most recent war was in a landlocked country.

I pick and choose what I like from each continuity. Neither one is solidly "canon" to me. There are aspects of legends I strongly dislike, as well as aspects of the disney stuff

well, Marines aren't soldiers and there are already clone marines. ARCs are probably closer to Delta or Green Berets. Rangers arent SF

Commandos are delta force ARCs are Rangers

In what world are rangers better than delta?

@@pineappleman6331 even better!

@@johntaylor4513I agree arcs are cooler but I think the point was: rangers - more of them, more up front. ARCs - more of them, more up front. Delta - more stealth, fewer of them. Commandos - more stealth fewer of them.

rangers and delta are army, SEALs are Navy
