Wesk Squad was a squad of[1] nine[3] clone troopers, including one Advanced Recon Commando and four Advanced Recon Force troopers,[1] that served within one of the Grand Army of the Republic's platoons[3] during the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The squad shared its name with[1] the letter Wesk, the twenty-third letter of the Aurebesh alphabet.[4]

During the war, Wesk Squad's four ARF troopers—who wielded[1] DC-15A blaster rifles[5] and had orange-brown camouflage on their armor, and the squad's ARC trooper—who wore olive-colored ARC trooper armor without a helmet, participated in a third battle on the[1] Outer Rim jungle planet[6] Felucia, where they made use of four BARC speeders adorned with blue markings.[1]

During the battle, Wesk Squad captured eighteen supply crates from pirates and held them north of a Republic outpost on the planet. They sent out a message requesting that the supplies be picked up and sent to Republic Command. A Jedi Knight received the request and later carried the squad's supplies back to the Republic outpost, which were then sent to Republic Command.[1]
