Clone ordnance specialist

Clone ordnance specialists, also known as Bomb Squad Clone Troopers, were specialized clone troopers who specialized in disarming ordnance, especially the defusing of bombs, which was one of the most dangerous jobs in the Republic military. They also were known for using bombs and other ordnance in combat. Ordnance specialists were organized into squad units. Bomb squads were stationed within larger clone battalions. Like most clone troopers, the ordnance specialists were 1.83 meters or 6 feet tall.

Clone ordnance specialists' uniform consisted of the standard Phase I clone trooper armor with bright orange markings on the upper legs, the lower arms; and on the skull, the back of the head, and cheeks of the helmet. In addition to having special tools for bomb disarming, ordnance specialists could be armed with standard weapons of the Republic Army such as the DC-15A blaster carbine. Clones chosen for the perilous work as a bomb squad trooper needed to have steady nerves, a gentle touch and be able to focus amid the chaos of war. Bomb squad troopers were also skilled in armed and unarmed combat, military tactics, infiltration and security.
