Veterancy:

The 19th were among the first introduced to the Clone Wars; present at the battle of Geonosis, this army has earned its presence within the newly formed Clone Army. To say that they are 'experienced' would be a mild overstatement, but they certainly do have experience - much more than many other Clone armies actively serving.

Purpose:

This army is designed for full-scale ground assaults through difficult circumstances. In short, they handle the operations that an average Army wouldn't be cut out to do; dealing with things such as strange weather or climate, unorthodox foes and armies, and new attack ideas. Their secondary purpose is to provide support to other groups, in whatever manner they request.

Weapons:

All Troopers are standarly equipped, with the following modifications;

Power Lances
All Soldiers, Engineers, Heavy Gunners, Heavy Troopers and Flame Troopers are trained in the art of Speeder Bike combat, and as such, power lances are always kept with nearby vehicles and within command centers, enough for all of them to use if the need arise.

EMP Grenades
All Sergeants carry one EMP Grenade with them in addition to their Thermal Detonator. All Lieutenants carry an additional EMP Grenade.

Miniature Flamethrowers
All Lieutenants are equipped with a miniature flamethrower, and are trained in its use.

Gear:

Cold Assault Protective Gear
Cold Assault gear is a staple of this army, as all are trained in its use. There are enough Cold Assault supplies and gear to outfit the entire Battalion.

SCUBA
SCUBA gear are one of the few things this army is trained in that few others are. Only the Clone Troopers are trained in its use, and as such, the supplies to outfit only 230 are kept.

Cold Assault
All soldiers are trained in use of Cold Assault gear and tactics.

Power Lance
All Soldiers, Engineers, Heavy Gunners, Heavy Troopers and Flame Troopers are trained in the use of Power Lances.

Miniature Flamethrowers

Vehicles:

Acclamator I-class Assault Ship

the 19th operates out of an Acclamator I-class assault ship named, "Noblesse Oblige". It's of standard make with no modifications, and often under the direct command of Command Crysis.

LA-AT/i
The 19th possesses 17 LA-AT/i's in their ranks, used for transporting all troops into, and from, battle. They're also used to transport Speeder Bikes for a mounted assault, and are modified to be able to transport 25 at once.

LA-AT/c
The 19th possesses 5 LA-AT/c's in their ranks, used for transporting their AT-TE's into, and from, combat.

AT-TE
The 19th possesses 5 AT-TE's in their ranks, used for supporting any large scale assaults. They're modified to allow for greater efficiency in extremely low temperatures.

Aratech 105-K Lancer Bike
The 19th possesses 350 of these Speeder Bikes in their ranks, used for supporting charges and surprising foes. They are brought into battle via the LA-AT/i gunships.

AT-RT
The 19th possesses 20 AT-RT's, used for recon, flushing out foes and supporting vehicle flanks.

Tactics and Methods:

The 19th Battalion is an eccentric one; with an unusual make up of many differently trained Clones. Their diversity breeds options on the battlefield, and in Alice's mind, options breed victory, for the one with the most options theoretically has the greater chance for victory.

The 19th is bred to be able to flourish is a multitude of different environments and situations. As a result, they're often among the first called in when a situation is deemed 'unorthodox'. Similarly, and situation in which another Clone or Jedi group has requested aid goes to the 19th first, because they are able to analyze just what it was that their foe used to route their allies, and bring in reinforcements able to count that threat.

The 19th works together surprisingly well despite their seemingly random nature. Sporting a variety of weapons, strengths, defenses and tactics, they are incredibly difficult to route using one solid strategy or weapon, as they're able to change up their offense on the fly to allow for optimal performance under many conditions. This is multiplied a thousand times when optimized by Alice's 'Battle Meditation', which actually allows for this diverse army to support each other flawlessly. This is the ultimate reason that this army works; unlike most who try to do too many things at once.

Important Members:

Obi-Wan Kenobi
Obi-Wan serves as the ranking officer of the Battalion beneath Alice Crysis. As he is quickly proving himself to be a capable Commander-to-be, his promotion is first in line, and soon coming. Ergo, he spends more time than others seeing to the command of the the Battalion.

Anakin Skywalker
Anakin Skywalker's knowledge of piloting and droids has proven invaluable to Alice, as well as the entire Battalion, in many situations. Though he's young, his word is very well respected by Alice. As such, he spends time shadowing Obi-Wan as he learns to command troops, even though he's more or less considered too young.

Reno Salmari
Reno is Alice's aspiring Padawan, whom Alice has great faith in. She's still far too young to be given command of an entire Battalion, but she does have her moments of brilliance, respected by all. She's learning very well, and does an admirable job supporting Alice in decision making as well as battlefield roles.

CT-1961 "Ghost"
Ghost was taken aboard the Battalion much more for his intellect, technosavvy, and multitasking abilities. Ghost often remains behind the lines and commands from their, leaving the Jedi to oversee their battlefield command. He provides intelligence and strategy unmatched by most Clones. He's also notoriously sarcastic, and will often engage in sarcastic, pseudo-flirtatious banter with Alice.
