A platoon of the Alliance to Restore the Republic served within the Special Forces Trackers Unit of the Rebel Alliance SpecForces and was led by Lieutenant Taidu Sefla. The platoon consisted of four squads of Rebel Commandos. Shortly prior to the Battle of Scarif, the platoon participated in Operation Fracture. The plan was for Sefla and his platoon to travel to any point in the galaxy immediately and following the traces of the operation's target, Galen Walton Erso and Rebel Alliance Intelligence Service Captain Cassian Jeron Andor.[1]
As such, the platoon was ready to embark when the time came, and instituted constant guard changes so that two squads were always combat-ready, while two more could prepare in just an hour. After the Andor team successfully completed their mission to Jedha, the operation led by Sefla and his platoon was then deemed unnecessary.[1]
