20th Armored Infantry Regiment

The 20th Armored Infantry Regiment is a sub-unit of the Grand Army of the Republic's 902nd Legion, lead by the Codri-Ju Jedi General Niyo Ceidi and Regimental Commander CC-2393 "Etwas".

## **Description**

As one of the Grand Army's most efficient fighting units, the Twentieth Regiment takes stock of what is available to them before and during every battle. Supply outposts are established and heavily guarded while officers and communication specialists work to collaborate with any friendly forces in space, in the air, or on the ground. This allows them to coordinate strategies.

The primary makeup of their engagements is thus: establishing a supply base, clearing the way to their objectives, and ensuring that those paths remain clear to permit a flow of reinforcing units and supplies. Secondary outposts and battery positions are commonly established near these objectives to provide support for the forward units, which usually consist of combined armor-infantry groups.

Air support is sometimes available to the 20th, but aside from that which serves in the initial deployment, they rarely have access to their own personal support. Rather, the Regiment relies on what other units can spare. This is usually factored in during the move to and from engagements, but commanding officers are capable of adapting to include new support or account for a lack thereof.

The backbone of the Regiment is the average fighting man, or woman, or sometimes other. The infantry! Infantry are primarily clone troopers, but several brave volunteers have left their homeworlds in order to fight for their beloved Republic. Infantry are capable of manning a wide variety of vehicles and emplacements, with a few more training hours than most troopers receive due to the Regiment's tendency to perform field exercises while off mission.

Each trooper is assigned a task, in coordination with the crew and non-trooper specialists. Many are merely positioned within vehicles to bide their time until they are deployed straight into combat! Infantry can also serve as potential replacements in case crew are wounded, or, in more leisurely engagements, have a need to briefly use the refresher.

Other infantry often move into conflicts alongside the vehicles instead of within them, protecting the flanks and sweeping the nooks and crannies that each and every battlefield offers, and sometimes housing. Aside from the speeders, walkers or tanks at the front, the infantry whom defend the flanks are the most likely to come under fire. Though it is a dangerous task, flanking infantry who receive direct enemy fire are usually pulled back behind cover, often in the form of vehicles that turn to provide protection.
