Following an attempt to eliminate Kenobi, the paratroopers were tasked by their commander, CC-2224, to search for the general's body. When Kenobi attempted to lead the battalion in clearing the city's upper levels of the remaining droid forces, Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine issued Order 66 to the Grand Army of the Republic, causing the clone soldiers to become hostile towards their Jedi officers. The fighting continued after the destruction of Grievous as both regular troopers and paratroopers fought the battle droids for control of Pau City.
