He can practice hiding among the shadows, moving like a ghost around the perimeter, tracking and tracing troop movement, and working with General Kenobi himself to determine the ideal attack strategy. The 2856197 ARF Trooper was the first package with the Shadow ARF Trooper. In this Kid’s Deluxe Advanced Recon Force Trooper Costume, he’ll feel like he’s among the best of the best of the clone troopers, hiding deep behind enemy lines and reporting back crucial information about opposing strategies. Well, now he can relive one of the best things to come out of the prequel trilogy: the ARF troopers. BUT….you can’t deny that when those Clone Troopers burst onto the scene on Geonosis at the end of Episode II, your world was rocked.

This is what has been nicknamed “the Falco Attack”. He uses DC-17 hand blasters for the short range fighting, and his favorite weapon the Z-6 rotary blaster cannon for a distant shot. He storms the enemy, which often leaves them overwhelmed. He often leads large missions in a different attack format than most find reasonable. One of the most notable ARF troopers is CT-5291 “Falco”. They proved to be very valuable to the Grand Army of the Republic due to their ability to carry out reconnaissance and deliver accurate, eye-witness reports of enemy activities, without alerting them to their presence. When AT-RT drivers weren’t available, ARF troopers took their place.ĪRF troopers, like their Defalian brethren, served their “homeworld” and swore allegiance to the Galactic Republic.

Although stealthy and well-trained, ARF troopers’ duties were different from that off clone commandos or Advanced Recon Commandos as their focus was on gathering information about the enemy or carrying out surprise attacks. The Advanced Recon Force Troopers (or simply ARF Troopers) were specialized clone troopers that carried out short-range reconnaissance for Jedi Generals.Īdvanced Recon Force Troopers were often tasked with scouting out the enemy’s position on the battlefield.
