Using Aratech105-K lancer bikes, these specialized speeder-mounted clone troopers engaged their enemy in physical combat, spearing the lancer droids with their Verpine power-lances. The Lancer Battalions were usually deployed in order to distract the enemy from advancing turbolaser batteries, which were used to batter down fortified targets. Presumably they were organized as standard battalions of 576 clone troopers and officers.
