Phase one armor made it really easy to pick off the officers.

Also to point out, at least in Legends, Clone commandos underwent live fire training under the supervision of, among others, Jango Fett(while he was alive).

Many clones died as a result, which concerned the Kaminoans, Jango Fett called it "culling the weak"

Jango also trained the 1st generation of ARC troopers.

Remember folks, a unit in a military is about 14 troops at the smallest. Obi wan was told they had 2.2 million units ready, and more being produced. That's 30 million clones. Units can be as big as 100 troops, meaning the republic army started off with between 30 million and 220 million clones.

[inductivegrunt]

I kinda prefer the original clones that had colored markings instead of just guessing or listening to everyone talking. But the cool designs of the new armors looked really cool too.

[marshalllatta]

Can you guys do more videos of the droid army and stormtrooper core I always wanted to know more about them

[DarktheRelentless]

Old cannon had it when, b4 the Jedi got involved anyway, that is a Clone Cadet failed to meet PERFECTION the Kaminoans just "recycled" them.
I wish the newer cannon kept this in just to retain the fact that those guys were generally monsters.

[rhydonbeacham]

Could you please do a video discussing the standard equipment for the clone troopers? Like specifics of their armor, what type of blasters they would use, and the specialized equipment they could use like kamas, pauldrons, rangefinders, etc.?

What I never understood was why the highest ranking clone officer under Anakin Skywalker’s command was a captain. I know padawans like Ahsoka held the rank of commander, but then again, Luminara Unduli had Barriss Offee and Commander Gree under her, plus Rex was still Anakins top officer before Ahsoka became his padawan and after she left. It’s also pretty clear throughout the series that there are at least a few thousand members of the 501st, which would put it under a commanders jurisdiction in theory. I heard one explanation that he actually was a commander and just chose captain for whatever reason, but that is contradicted by the moment in season 7 where he is promoted to commander. I’ve also heard Appo was actually the commander and that Rex was only promoted so that he could lead the 332nd company, but as of season 4, Krell referred to him as “sergeant Appo” which leaves a big empty spot for the majority of the show, doesn’t explain why Rex needed the rank of commander to lead the 332nd company since it was still part of the 501st and would have not only been a unit size he could have commanded as a captain (the whole unit looked like it was maybe 144 men strong) but would have been way below his pay grade as a commander. It also doesn’t make any sense that Appo would have somehow jumped from being a sergeant under Rex’s command to being his CO in a short time frame, especially because Anakin would have been the one making that decision, and he likely wouldn’t have promoted anyone above Rex, who he regarded as his right hand man throughout the series. One last note is that if Gree and Wolfe are the lowest tier of commander, why do both of them act as second in command to high profile Jedi as opposed to a Marshall Commander? I mean I guess Luminara wasn’t a Council member, but she was still a prominent Jedi master, and Plo Koon was a lifetime council member, meaning he would outrank even Obi Wan, but he somehow still has a lower ranking commander than him. I’m just saying, there are some inconsistencies about the power and units delegated to different ranks as well as progression through them in the clone army, especially in the 501st.

[elyseredwine]

I absolutely love your guys' videos! I constantly reference them when trying to research the GAR and make art or OCs. This video was especially helpful with clearing up the rank inconsistencies I've been so curious about. I was wondering if you guys would ever make a video about the different rank signifiers like pauldrons? I've always found it difficult to determine what rank a clone holds by their pauldron type or bandoliers since I see different ranks wearing very similar or wildly different gear -- like how marshal commander Bly wears a similar pauldron to Rex who's a captain, and Cody wears nothing but a visor.

[Shadowkiller-dqju]

Well the clone wasn’t the only forces fighting during the Clone War it was a galactic war so most of the fighting could been done by planet defense forces

[lukerayners]

Great video. Maybe do one about imperial navy officers ranks, but like if you didn’t this video, explaining the capabilities of each rank. That is what makes this one so good.

[Tazmaina]

I have a few questions for you.

Was Commander Keller a sub-Commander under Bacara seeing that he also had Galactic Marines under his command? They’ve never really specified.

Who in your opinion led the entirety of the 501st Legion (Senior Commander) bc I believe the reason Anakin was always seen with Rex is because Torrent was his HQ Company by default making Rex his Commander. Appo was a Sgt. by Umbara, and Vill and Bow didn’t lead until after 66.

How can the 41st Elite Corps be a sub-unit under the 9th Assault Corps but be led by a Senior Commander (Gree)?

[AustinFoss]

Yeah, it is bizarre to imagine that a galaxy spanning war was going on and the Clone Army was only about the size of a modern Earth military. Like, they couldn't have just made it like 1 billion clones? Even that seems low af for a galactic conflict but it's still much more believable.

[Demalion]

I'm new here so still catching up with all your content. Thank you for the video. If you haven't already, could you please do a video on the weapon systems used by different factions?

[RTXxyt]

Although Rex is not that high on the chart, he’s still the best hands down

[CloneCommanderCrater]

ARCs and commandos did not have their own ranking system, they used the exact same ranks as the rest of the GAR. That's why you have ARC commanders, ARC captains, ARC lieutenants, ARC sergeants, commando captains, and commando sergeants.

[waterfox]

I always prefer phase 2 because of the colour marking of each legion and of the small modifications on the armor fore like gunners ore sergeant

[garmenlin]

How Appo got promoted to commander before Rex did still baffles me

[axtothemax]

Dogma was a Platoon Sergeant not a Private.
