Intro
Advanced Recon Force troopers were first introduced during the time of the Clone Wars and like most of their clone brethren; they were created on the planet Kamino which served as their homeworld and swore their allegiance to the Galactic Republic. They proved to be valuable assets 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.
Commander Trauma
"Trauma" was the nickname of a ARF clone trooper commander in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Around 21 BBY, he fought alongside the Jedi Halsey and his Padawan Knox at the planet Devaron's Temple of Eedit. Although the Republic forces were holding their ground, the sudden appearance of Savage Opress immediately turned the tide of the battle: The Zabrak began slaughtering every ARF trooper who lay in his path. Trauma and the others including the Jedi were slaughtered by Opress causing the Republic defeat on Devaron.
Equipment
In terms of equipment, ARF troopers were often provided with DC-15A blaster rifles, DC-15Ss, chainguns, and missile launchers along with thermal detonators. They wore also a lightweight recon armor made of plastoid material as well as surveillance gear. The belt contained spare ammunition and a medical syringe. On the left arm they had a comlink and a life-form scanner. Their helmet had an infrared camera so that they could operate in dark places as well as recognizing friends or foes. They often carried a backpack with some basic items, such as survival rations, C.S.E.L. (Combat Survivor Evader Locator) and explosives, but it was possible to have a rope, macro binoculars, ice-axe and a first-aid-kit. They would often wear armor that fit the environment of the planet they were on.
Summary
These clone troopers were often tasked with scouting out the enemy position on the battlefield. Although stealthy and well-trained, recon troopers' duties differed from that of clone commandos or Advanced Recon Commandos as their focus was on gathering information about the enemy or carrying out surprise attacks.

I need no bodyguard at all, for even the bravest men who approach me get weak at the knees and their hearts turn to water, whilst their heads become giddy and incapable of thinking as the sweat of fear paralyzes them.
