All clone commandos and ARCs were trained by Mandalorian mercenaries; the Elite Clone Troopers are known as Shadow Troopers. The style and colour of a clone troopers armor often varies depending on their rank, specialisation, regiment or environment, for example, the clone troopers on Kashyyk wear camouflage green scout-style armour whereas the 501st legion wears standard white armour with blue accents. Another example is the aquatic SCUBA troopers, who appear in the animated series Star Wars: Clone Wars. Notable units in the novels are Delta Squad and Omega Squad.
