10th Legion

 * "The 10th Legion certainly gained a reputation for fighting in the Clone Wars, and we just take down those clankers with our guns. You know what they say, Shoot first and ask questions later. Yep, that's what me and my brothers do. Ask no questions, and just keep shooting the enemy until your out of ammo and fight until your last breath."

For an ARF Trooper, they must have the ability to remain out of sight, and determine the best entrance for Republic forces to enter, as well as for the ARC Troopers. ARC Troopers who have attained the necceassary requirements are advised to keep those skills up to date, and be prepared for the unexpected, because no trooper will survive if they let their skills slide away, even for an ARC Trooper. While inside a Separtist stronghold, ARC Troopers can download schematics from computers and disable security measurements and are advised to use their stealth belts, as this will help them avoid detection from enemy forces, and also allowing the Republic troops enter the facility with ease.
