Republic Commandos train for over five years in the most grueling and intense environment known a man. The ICT or Interplanetary Combative Training Program as a death rate of 75%. and a failure rate of 15%. There is no dropping out of this training. 90% of recruits washout or die. Recruits are literally tortured. The healthy human adult needs 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night. While in this training program, you're lucky if you get 5 hours. For five years recruits will be pushed to the breaking point and past it. Some break, most die. A combination of constant live fire exercises, and sometimes bone breaking physical exercise, will result in the toughest soldier or a broken recruit. Due to severely dangerous training, enlistment in this program is limited only to ARC Troopers. The average soldier is forbidden from attending this training or even being told about it. The consequence of spreading this information is an execution by firing squad with no trial. It is the most closely guarded secret in the Republic. The only people who know about this are the top generals and admirals, and the Chancellor.
The Commando's line of sight through the visor.
Stealth Armor meant for covert operations made of non-reinforced duraplast with a stealth coating along with a cloaking device. The boots are capable of muffling sound, leaving no audible footsteps.
Shephard's armor has a red line starting at the right shoulder and extending to the gauntlet, surrounded by white lines.
Commandos are issued the DC-17m Interchange Weapon System
These lethal fireteams use a specialized ship equipped with a MK III Stygium cloaking device, rendering the ship invisible and undetectable by any mass effect based or Republic scanners. Fast and quiet, Schmitar Class Infiltrators make virtually no sound, even with the engines running. The most an observer would hear would be a quiet humming. Even with the engines running at full burn, they are virtually silent. If you didn't know what you were looking for you, you would never know it was there. These ships are used to covertly insert commando fireteams wherever they need to go quickly and quietly.
