As we continue carving our path towards the Core Worlds, the lessons we learned on planets such as Alzoc III, Anteevy, and Cepany have shown the Army leaders the dire need for advance troop deployment and reconnaissance.

One of the tasks appointed to the Army Executive Officer is the selection, organization and coordination of the special forces squad of the Corps. They may be more familiar to you, however, when called the Advanced Recon Commandos.

Their missions will be dangerous. Outnumbered, outgunned and alone on hostile planets. No rescue, no surrender, and no retreat. They are the tip of the Stormtrooper Corps' sword and will guide us to the ultimate goal: Coruscant.

"Success without reward. Failure with death."

I am proud to announce that the ARCs have been reopened, and the roster filled with the best and brightest our Army has to offer.

ARC 1 - Havock
ARC 2 - Ron
ARC 3 - Jager
ARC 4 - Madman
ARC 5 - Rykin
ARC 6 - Hassar

Please congratulate your peers on their selection to this prestigious squad.

Look for them taking the fight to the enemy!
