Description
Origins
The CSAF Commando is evolved from the ashes of the former GALSAF Operational Soldier. GALSAF, a paramilitary humanitarian aid and relief organization from the the Pre-Gulag Era, lent a variety of support and security to civilians throughout the Galaxy, adherent to no extra-organizational authority. These soldiers were highly trained in a wide range of skills and operation types. 800 years ago Former Jedi Master Ander Tagira founded GALSAF out of a core of soldiers that followed him after his exile from the Yavin IV Jedi Praxeum.Ali Hadrix and Alena Reckar (a descendent of the Tagira family) decided together to reestablish Tagira's original mission and goals: To secure and provide for the lives of the citizens of the Galaxy. Trapped within the confines of the Galactic Republic bureaucracy, Hadrix realised that working within the law was no way to guarantee the security and provision of many of the Galaxy's inhabitants, and that justice could indeed be effectively and impartially delivered at the muzzle of a rifle or the tip of a blade. However, not all justice needed to be violent, and thus Hadrix made the organization's focus humanitarian aid and relief over militant action; the inverse of how Tagira operated in his years.
Alena Reckar, a former lawyer and Rebel Alliance operative, joined Ali in her quest, providing for her the wealth of information that was GALSAF's operational records and history. Together, the two intended on ensuring the safety and well-being of as many Galactic citizens as they could.
Recruitment Process
CSAF Recruits are sent through a hefty vetting process that includes numerous personal, familial and professional interviews, background checks, and the Force-Assisted Psychological Factors of Risk Assessment (FAPFRA, aka the "FAP FoR All"), which is conducted by a resident Jedi of an undisclosed identity.
Once the vetting process is complete, recruits are shipped en mass to Carida, to train in the harsh and variable environmental conditions of the military world. They spend two years completing a regiment of training intended to provide them with a multitude of skills and specialized conditioning.
Other operation types extend far beyond that of the typical soldier. Specific skill sets are bestowed upon CSAF Commandos during their training, determined by aptitude, innate talent or skill, and specie-specific traits. These skills are ever honed, and Commandos cross train in these skills after leaving training, garnering more knowledge the longer they operate. Even so, some basic elements are passed down to all potential Commandos:
Four Elements of Combat Might:
Maneuvering = The ability to out-think and pace the enemy
Firepower = The resources to suppress and destroy the enemy
Security = Protecting friendly personnel, resources, and intelligence
Leadership = The knowledge and skill to plan and execute operations
A Commando's Values:
Independence = No plan survives contact with the enemy. Commandos must always be prepared to adapt and overcome, thinking entirely for themselves as individuals, or thinking together as a group.
Intelligence = There is no honor in death, only honor in protecting and providing for the lives of the civilians we exist to serve. Solutions must be economical, practical and applicable to the current situation and available resources.
Empathy = Commandos must always be able to understand the conditions and perceptions that shape the lives of those around them, specifically those people they serve. Proper command decisions cannot be made if these factors are not taken into consideration.
Efficiency = Of time. Of resources. Of movement. Waste not, want not. At the same time, it's better to have and not need, than need and not have.
Conviction = When a course of action is decided upon, it must be followed through without hesitation unless the situation changes once more. Never hesitate to pull the trigger, on a plan, or a rifle, as long as you have decided it is what must be done.

1st Armored Commando Brigade (ACB)
The 1st Armored Commando Brigade provides the bulk of the organization's firepower, and serves as the backbone for many of CSAF's overt military operations. These are not your parents' soldiers. Built on a foundation of modernized All-Terrain Tactical-Enforcers and support vehicles, the 1st ACB serves as the fist to quash any and all resistance to the CSAF mission and the security of the Galaxy's innocent populations. The 1st ACB is comprised of Commandos trained in every skill set found within the 1st ICBT, though with a specialty for ground combat and vehicle operations.
1st Commando Air Support Battalion (CASB)
The 1st Commando Air Support Battalion is comprised of a fighting force of Low-Altitude Assault Transports, of varying models, and provides the support needed to facilitate any and all CSAF operations. Their primary directive is to operate in support of the 1st ICBT and 1st ACB, though its pilots and accompanying Commandos are capable of taking on any mission the rest of the Fighting Force is tasked with carrying out.
CSAF Black Operations
These soldiers are amongst the best in the Galaxy. Their training far exceeds even the highest standards of CSAF Commandos. Operating independently of SAFCOM (Command) as individuals, as a group, or as part of the rest of the CSAF Fighting Force, CSAF Black Operators are everywhere they need to be, when they need to be there. Black Operators carry out any mission required, with the utmost discreteness and absolute devotion to the CSAF Mission and the needs of the innocent beings of the Galaxy.
