They were scheduled for destruction but 12 were saved and made into Null Arc troopers. Out of all the normal clones, the best tested ones, basically ones without genetic issues (even clones can have bugs) were pulled off to the side and given the standard clone flash training (brain downloads backed up with simulated combat). The best of these pulled aside clones were given additional training at an enhanced level and then split into 4 man teams and trained directly by mercenary mandalorians and other high tier mercs selected specifically by jango fett. Jango himself trained the Arc troopers, which were the best of the best clones set to be the proper commanders of their squads. These named clones like Commander Cody in SW EP3 were trained with commando squad intelligence but broad across the line command intelligence as well to make them better leaders of their groups and better set to assist the jedi generals.
Each part of the republic army consisted of 3 different batches of clones. The original clone batches were the Null Arcs (very limited super spec ops missions), Clone Commandos (4 man teams used for spec ops missions), Arc troopers and Commanders (leaders and large scale squad leaders), Clone Troopers V1 (approx 8 years of training, 2 years flash training) and Clone Troopers V2 or DumbClones made from another facility at very high speed (2 years flash training).
Any clone you saw with well designed colored paint on his armor was either a Arc Trooper or Arc Commander. Any clones with random hand made designs or random patterns of color is a clone commando or null trooper. Each clone army with its jedi general(s) had several commando units assigned to provide specialized support for the jedi generals in their missions. These were the ones trained to execute order 66 properly, standard clones only know how to point and shoot. While they were much better than the normal human army that followed they aged super fast (2x faster than normal) and a greater bulk of them ended up dying because of the lack of fear. More than half of the clone commandos died on the first mission due to combat shock.
A great deal of the clone commando units did not execute order 66 as they were smart enough to realize the jedi were not at fault and did not need removal. While the bulk of them did, including most of the clone commanders, the commandos let their jedi go, which, after order 66 was executed prompted the new Imperal Army to recall all commando units and restructure them into the 501st Division (aka Vaders Fist). Thats why in Star Wars lore the 501s was the tip top of the bad asses, they were almost all clone commandos and worked in new teams. Their actions in ignoring order 66 allowed the jedi to survive and require vader to do his purge.
Boba Fett was an unaltered clone, he had standard flash training but no enhanced aging, and was from the original version 1 batch. So when you saw Boba in the movie, the clones would have been approximately twice his age +5 or 6 years depending on initial growth rates. Nulls would be version 0, Commandos Version 1, Commanders and Arcs version 1, standard clone troopers would be the continued version 1 batches with not as much training. Dumb clones would be version 2, these were considered very bad clones, made from the best clone commandos and commanders, but a copy of a copy isnt very good.
