Great initiative!
I would like to be an instructor for this program. My resume includes using the Commando from day 1 on July 2nd, 2013, founding the Commando Squadron channel, and being a member of the Commando 6.
Not sure if you want to interview me since you already know me, but if so I'm up for it.
Amarr Victor!

Also, I sort of wish that there was some way to show your affiliations with groups, but separate from corporations. Perhaps like clubs or something. I would love to be known as "Arc Troopers" along with you guys.

And just to give some people more ideas, here are my two most used commando fits.
Commando A/1 Series Scrambler Rifle CRD-9 Assault Scrambler Rifle Wirykomi Triage Hive Basic Shield Energizer Basic Armor Plate
This is my frontline Commando suit. No need for armor reps when you are carrying the 70 hp/s Wirykomis with you, and also great for supporting fellow Commandos in the squad. Shield energizer helps get my shields up to as high as possible in the limited downtime between engagements on the frontlines. The combination of weapons allows me to effectively cover medium and short range engagements very flexibly with either choice.
Commando A/1 Series CRD-9 Assault Scrambler Rifle ELM-7 Laser Rifle Quantum Active Scanner Basic Light Damage Amplifier Enhanced Armor Repairer
This is my perimeter patrol Commando, working the other objectives. Obviously any patrol job is only made better by the use of active scanners, so there's that. I don't get as much armor as I am not subject to as much enemy firepower, and in exchange I get to carry a passive armor repairer. Also since I usually have more time between engagements I opt out of the energizer in favor of a damage mod. The combination of weapons gives me a wider range to effectively assault my targets, from medium-far to up close and personal. This comes with the trade off of less flexibility, as each weapon as a very specific role in the fit.

Fire, should probably edit the thread title to "The A.R.C. Program for Commandos" or something, and for two reasons 1) Need to let people know this is for commandos just by reading the title 2) Longer titles tend to grab more attention

You must be clinically insane to but two officer weapons on a commando.
And yeah new divisions sound good but we need students first.

I still need to really see what happens when 1.8 hits too, to be brutally honest. I love the commando and definitely want to stick with it, but I'm not too sure how crazy I am going to go with Amarr scout if at all. Going to try it on an alt first and see how it goes. New stuff intrigues me.

At first I thought that was just a Gal Assault, but the close up reveals it is definitely not. Still, it doesn't look like a scout in my honest opinion.
Who knows, maybe. CCP could of also changed the design yet again.

Idk, but it is holding what looks like a rail rifle, and it's definitely not the medium Caldari frame....looks to thin to be heavy, therefore most likely a light frame, Has a similar placing of lights on the helmet as that of the Caldari medium, has the regular steel grey of Caldari suits.....it just reminds me of Caldari..... Did you check the last link? EDIT: as for them changing it, I hope they don't....I rather like that version of a Caldari scout.... Should I repost this in GD? How old is this pic? I know they also originally planned to make all the logi suits unique models, but then opted out in favor of color coding.

I found this by Lorenzo Lee, supposedly someone who used to do concept art for Dust 514. It is labeled the Caldari male scout helmet http://lorenzo-lee.deviantart.com/art/DUST-Caldari-Character-Male-Scout-Helmet-Sketch-338171132 Dated around November 2012 so old news

To get back on topic, in regards to my scouting desires that would only be a slight diversion. By that, I mean I currently have a plan for my skill point investment in Commandos that would take 20 million, and another plan that will only take 10 million. Depending how much I want to dump into scouts will determine which plan I use, but man I'd love to take the 20 million route. For the most part I've always been a bit of an omni-soldier, but seeing as this is likely the last respec we will ever get it may be time to change that.
Hopefully with the Commando buffs plus new racial commandos we will get plenty of students for this group.

Perhaps we should also add a guide to skilling the Commando? Not sure about the other racial commandos and what new slot layouts we may all possibly get, but I can make one with the general idea. Would definitely like feedback from other Commandos, this will most likely go through some revisions. The skills listed within each segment are not in the order you should skill them, but the order they showed up in the fitting tool.

Also noticed under Addressing Weaknesses I didn't put a number after Rapid Reload. It is supposed to be 3 for each. I updated my post.

My planned fits for new Commando stats and slot layouts
Commando A-1 Laser Rifle Scrambler Rifle Militia Light Damage Mod Militia Armor Repairer Active Scanner
240 shield 562 armor 2.5 armor repair rate
Cost: 7,640 ISK
Commando A/1 ELM-7 Laser Rifle CRD-9 Assault Scrambler Rifle Enhanced Light Damage Mod Enhanced Armor Plate Enhanced Armor Repairer A-19 Stable Active Scanner
240 shield 683 armor 3.75 armor repair rate
Cost: 55,110 ISK
Commando Ak.0 ELM-7 Laser Rifle CRD-9 Assault Scrambler Rifle Complex Light Damage Mod Complex Armor Plate Complex Armor Repairer Complex Armor Repairer A-19 Stable Active Scanner
240 shield 711 armor 12.5 armor repair rate
Cost: 111,120 ISK
*HP values vary depending on your skills. All fits require some degree of SP into fitting skills.
I'm like it so far, definitely excited for 711 armor and 12.5 armor repair rate! The prices are still sort of steep past standard because of the cost of light weapons, though it's not noticeable in my protofit because I'm only using advanced weapons. It's quite noticeable on the advanced fit. I'm not too concerned though, these fits sound every bit worth the ISK.

I wouldn't put a duvolle on a Ck.0 because the bonus is for rail weaponry, so right now that is just rail rifles and sniper rifles. Here are some other proto fits I worked out, assuming level 5 everything

523 armor 398 shield 6.25 armor repair rate

True, although I never use Dmg mods (weird I know) Still, the racial bonus is like a built in damage mod that you can't remove. It is there regardless, whether or not you use the weapons to take advantage of it is your call.

Just remember to work out your fittings ahead of time before maxing fitting skills like Electronics, Engineering, Light Weapon Operations, and Fitting Optimizations. It is very improbably that you need all of these at level 5 to run your ideal fit.

To be perfectly honest, "Ginja" is the stupidest term ever. "Minja" works because it's the first three letters of their race, but the Gallente are not Ginlente. They're desperately trying to call themselves something cool but failing. The Amarr were at least able to come up with Samarri.
For commandos, Galmando and Calmando sound good. I also like Amando but could probably think of something better given time.
