The 561st ARC Brigade or the 561st ARC Brigade was an elite brigade made up of ARC Troopers. The Unit was created as a special forces unit during the Clone Wars to counter CIS Droid forces without sending in an entire army. The brigade was often commander by Commander Rarar and sometime by Jedi Master Roshi. The brigade was very famous for Operation Exodus, during which the bulk of the CIS Air Squadron was destroyed on the ground.

Who do think would be better for this mission than the 561st?- Commander Rarar

The 561st Legion was created under th utmost secrecy during the hight of the Clone Wars. The idea came from Amolsch who had sensed the need for an entire brigade made up solely of ARC Troopers. Amolsch commanded the unit for a while but was soon transfered to the 501st Legion. After his transfer Commander Rarar was promoted and was given command of the unit.

Operation Exodus

Operation Exodus was the first major operation that the 561st was involved in and was later seen as a turning point in the Clone Wars.
