The clone wars were by far the most deadly war the galaxy had seen up until that point. As we all know, war is a high stress environment. While this can strengthen the bonds between individuals within the in group, this can also lead to increased animosity towards an outgroup.

Even among the genetically identical clones, this soon became the case, especially between the regs and the clone commandos, with many openly hostile between one another.

This video will briefly explore the differences between the two groups as well as the flashpoints that led to increased divisions during the clone wars.

Before we begin, we must first explore the clone commando project and how it differed from the regs and the ARC troopers.

Shortly after the Kaminoans started building the secret clone army of the Galactic Republic, a special forces unit was designed as a vital complement to the operational efficiency of the new armed force.

Jango Fett insisted that he train as Advanced Recon Commandos to fill this highly specialised role. The Kaminoans eventually accepted but had little faith in Jangos ARC trooper project. And So they compromised with Fett. The bounty hunter could train ARC troopers personally, while the Kaminoans would go on to start the clone commando project.
Similar to the ARC troopers, they would still have greater independence and independent mental capacity than the normal clone soldiers. However, they were programmed to be much more loyal to the republic and would execute orders without hesitation.

In order to reflect the culturally significant Kaminoan native Aiwha hunting pods, the first group of clone commandos were split into squads of four clones known as "pods." Besides undergoing flash training, the commando squads were divided between the Cuy'val Dar. This group of professional mercenaries provided specialised training for the clone commandos, including teamwork, infiltrations, techniques of destruction, and asassination. It was here that the clone commandos began to diverge from the rest of their brothers. Through the teachings of the mandalorian mercenaries and their independent thought, the clone commandos began to heavily identify with the culture of the mandalorian warrior culture, learning their songs, culture and sometimes even their language.

However, at this point the regs looked up to the clone commandos and they were seen ask almost a thing of legend. Some even believed that the clone commandos could win the war all by themselves.

However, the clone wars would soon change all of this.

The battle of Geonosis was a harsh wake up call for both the regs and the clone commandos. Many had believed war to be honourable and noble, but the loss of so many on geonosis soured many clones' views of war.
Due to the woefully unprepared Jedi leadership, the clones were deployed to run at the enemy as though they were battle droids. Despite only lasting a few hours the casualties rates on geonosis were among the highest of any battle of the whole war.

The Clone Commandos were hit particularly hard. The Clone Commandos had been bred and trained for covert and special missions with complex objectives. They were not meant to be used as infantry units. However, the Jedi had no understanding of this and deployed them en masse to fight the sepratist forces.

The clone commandos suffered immensely during this battle and 50% of all clone commandos perished in these short few hours on geonosis.

Due to this, the legend of the clone commandos was quickly shattered. Many regs began to think that the clone commandos were overrated and incompetent. This certainly was not helped by the Jedi who in their arrogance, also believed them to be ineffective due to the high casualty rate on geonosis; failing to realise it was their own poor leadership that led to the slaughter.

The regs belief that they were incompetent soon turned to actively disliking the clone commandos with many hating having to work with them.
The division between the regs and the clone commandos was only made worse by the mandalorians.

The Clone commandos still actively embraced mandalorian customs and culture, idolising their warrior culture. They had held Jango Fett in especially high regard and many wished to emulate the skills and success of the bounty hunter.

However, as we all know, Jango Fett would betray the Grand Army of the Republic and was in fact an ally of the Separatists.
