Though they were part of the Imperial Navy and not the Stormtrooper Corps, Naval commandos nevertheless wore a similar uniform as the stormtroopers, though elements of the design were similar to that of the scout troopers: their black body suit partially revealed and little leg armor shared the resemblance to the scout troopers' own outfit. Squads consisted of five to seven commandos and a sergeant, and sometimes an officer or a medic.

They were typically stationed at key Imperial facilities where they provided accurate covering fire for other units. At least some commandos were trained in piloting All Terrain Scout Transports, as one was seen during the Battle of the TIE Fighter Construction Facility. Often navy commandos acted as elite guardsmen to provide extra punch to the navy trooper forces. Navy commandos were lightly armored soldiers that were trained for patrol, guard and monitor duty.
