Clone commandos, were elite clone troopers that served in the Clone Army's Special Operations Brigade during the Clone Wars. A result of the Kaminoans' genetic experimentation with the Jango Fett template, they were special forces soldiers noted for their training and elite status in the clone army. In 2340, Clone Commander Ponds gave command over five commando units to a General, who directed them to engage in a frontal assault against the Separatist Droid Army during the First Battle of Geonosis.
