History
First Battle of Geonosis

Ponds during the First Battle of Geonosis
Battle of Ryloth
In 21 BBY,[1] Ponds was one of the commanders of the Battle of Ryloth during the Clone Wars. He went with Mace Windu to the planet's surface, but before he could reach the ground, Separatist proton canons fired at them and destroyed one of the three ships that were going to land. Mace Windu ordered High Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi to destroy the canons so that the ships could land. General Kenobi did so, and the spaceships landed safely and the clone troopers and other Galactic Republic forces headed to Lessu, one of Ryloth's capitals.
CC-0411, Lightning Squad, and a few All Terrain Armored Transports (AT-TEs) made their way across a cliff side when they were attacked by Separatist forces including AATs (All Armored Tanks). They destroyed a few AT-TEs, but Lightning Squadron was released for the backs of the AT-TEs and got rid of the opposing enemies.

Windu, Razor, and Stak snuck their way onto an MTT, and successfully made their way to the other side. The ARF troopers activated the bridge, which created a path for the freedom fighter's and Windu's forces to go through. The fighters took over the city, and Windu captured Wat Tambor, but just after Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and his padawan, Ahsoka Tano destroyed the bombers that received orders from Count Dooku to destroy Lessu. He was last seen on Ryloth at the parade afterwards.

Behpour
Some Jedi, along with Ponds, Captain Rex, Commander Cody, and some clone troopers, helped sabotage a secret weapon that was going to destroy the Naboo sun.
Malastare
Ponds was seen during the Battle of Malastare when he investigated the missing troopers in a hole, created as a side effect to a bomb. The bomb was created to destroy only droids. Ponds, alongside troopers Hawkeye and Trapper discovered the Zillo Beast alongside General Windu. The four retreated, but not before the creature trampled Hawkeye. Ponds, Trapper and Windu made it out of the hole, while Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and his droid R2-D2 distracted the beast.

Armor and Equipment

Ponds at the beginning of the war.
Ponds wore regular armor with a kama, two DC-17 hand blasters, and a phrase on the back of his helmet saying, "Some guys have all the luck". He had many maroon markings over many parts of his Phase I clone trooper armor.
During the Battle of Geonosis, Ponds wore standard clone armor without any maroon marks on it. Instead, he had regular yellow armor. Soon after that, he customized his armor with blue markings and designed his helmet with eyes. By late 22 BBY, he possessed his signature brown armor.
