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.

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

​@knightingale9833 From an outside perspective, it would be easy to confuse them, but clones have no problem distinguishing who is who even when they're all wearing identical armor. All clone helmets have a HUD in them that shows the wearer all sorts of combat/battlefield date, the health of the wearer, and distinguishes which clone is which and their ranks.

[@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.?

[@elyseredwine7846]

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.

[@bobbart6498]

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.

[@LowBrandon]

Yeah the ranking system of the clones are quite messed up, also a Clone Major should be a clone battalion commander since in real life most majors are battalion commanders with only a few exceptions in some countries like Germany.

[@albaradix1598]

Luminara was a master not a knight right? also Gree is a Senior Commander

[@ZaidanDarmasakti]

I guess Anakin never bothered to assign Clone Commanders to his legion during the first years of the Clone Wars since he was a Jedi General capable of executing battle tactics and strategies with high success.

[@PintoRagazzo]

I mean, the real answer is the writers didn't know much and couldn't be bothered to look up much about Military Ranks and Military Units. I don't think you can find a real answer within the canon because, as your examples illustrate, they bunged it up big time.

[@lukerayners6729]

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)?

[@thecams3858]

I think at the beginning of the war the 501st legion wasn’t big enough to have a commander which is why Rex led them as a captain. Rex was the highest clone of the 501st nobody outranked him besides Anakin and Ahsoka. Jesse was his 2nd and Appo was 3rd.

[@JohnLover1179]

Wasn’t Ahsoka the commander

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

@Tazmaina To answer your questions: While never officially specified, Commander Keller was almost certainly a commander under Marshal Commander Barcara in the 21st Nova Corps, due to the fact that Galactic Marines are exclusively a part of the 21st. - While Rex officially held the rank of captain and was specifically the captain of Torrent Company, due to Anakin's unorthodox leadership, Rex held the position of Senior Commander within the 501st and was the main officer in charge of the legion. Also, Regimental Commander Vill and Commander Bow were likely already commanders during the Clone Wars as they both held the rank of commander only a couple of months after Order 66, which would have been too soon for them to have reached those ranks only after the war had ended. - The 41st Elite Corps, despite it's name funnily enough, is technically a legion in actuality, which is how it's a sub-unit of the 9th and how it's led by a Senior Commander instead of a Marshal Commander.

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

​@@thecams3858 At the beginning of the war, the 501st was a battalion (which would be led by a commander) and a couple of months into the war it was rearranged into a legion. Rex was never the highest ranked, as the 501st being a legion means it has multiple commanders, but he was still in charge of the unit due to Anakin's unorthodox leadership. Jesse wasn't Rex's second in command in the 501st, only in Torrent Company. Jesse was only a lieutenant, and was far outranked by the other various captains and commanders in the 501st.

[@G31M1]

I always assumed that Ahsoka was the Commander in Charge of the 501st since Anakin was the General and since she flexed on Captain Rex about how she outranks him. She is also referred to as Commander Tank until she becomes leader of the 332nd where Rex is appointed Commander and she is referred to as General.

[@Shadowkiller-dq2ju]

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

No, most of the fighting was carried out by clones, the planetary defense armies fought only within the boundaries of their planets, and only a small regular army of the republic accompanied the larger army of clones.

[@DoctorLizard]

Yeah, for sure. Honestly, something like 30 billion (in my mind, at least) makes the most sense for a "galactic" army.

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

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.

0:24 - 0:31 How so? Examples? Compared to what? Explain! Because the scale of squads is in line with what we use on Earth. As a fiction writer, maybe it's YOU who doesn't understand how military logistics work. We have fireteams of 2-5 Stack those in a squad for about 6-10 Keep stacking a couple squads in a platoon, a few platoons in a company, a couple companies in a battalion, a few battalions in a regiment, etc. This is exactly how it works in both Star Wars and in real life. You don't need to scale your battalions up or down.... you just need a larger total of troops. Are there enough troopers in the GAR no, but there's not enough people populating Coruscant according to some sources. Yes the size of the GAR and droid armies are dumb and not thought through but when you are conducting small unit tactics on ONE corner of ONE planet, Earth scale unit organization makes perfect sense.

[@AtomicF0x]

I like the idea of a Clone Corporal; Being better than an average trooper, but not really having to worry too much about leading a bunch of _other_ clones. Heck, I even came up with my own clone; *Corporal Bloodshot* of the Coruscant Guard. Outwardly, he _looks_ like a standard Phase 2 Coruscant Guard---but has stealthily upgraded most of his equipment over time. This is due to him being stationed in the Coruscant Underworld, where he's in frequent contact with illegal arms/drug dealers. Eventually, Bloodshot confiscated enough rare and uncommon materials to help reinforce his armor---as well as upgrade his DC-15A into an illegal precision model that fires thin, purple bolts. With his enhanced armor and blaster, Bloodshot takes pleasure in busting Spice Dens, Death Stick operations and even fighting more monstrous enemies like Coruscani Ogres, Cthon and Corridor Ghouls.

Rex acted like a Senior Commander, not a Marshal Commander. Senior Commanders lead legions like the 501st, while Marshal Commanders, like Cody, lead much larger units such as corps.

[@chopper3940]

Rex acted as an ordinary clone captain, like all captains, in fact, Rex stood out only by his position, perhaps he was Anaken’s adjutant. Rex was subordinate to the same clone battalion commanders, as well as regimental commanders and senior commanders. But most likely the torrent company is a special separate company in 501. Rex is still a junior officer, but holds a high position as his company also serves as support for the Jedi.

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

@myhonorwasloyalty It is literally impossible for any clone to outrank Cody, as Cody holds the highest rank a clone can achieve, Marshal Commander. Now, if Rex wanted, he almost certainly could have achieved the rank of Marshal Commander and been on equal footing as Cody, but he can never outrank him or other Marshal Commanders (like Bly, Neyo, and Bacara) because clones CANNOT achieve a rank higher than that.

[@chopper3940]

@@myhonorwasloyalty Rex couldn't even reach the rank of Chief Commander. Rex is originally a field commander, to become a higher rank, you have to be a strategist and Rex a tactician. Even when 332 separated from 501, Rex was promoted purely because of his long service and the fact that he gets along well with Ahsoka. Rex is not superior to Cody in many ways, only in terms of combat, since Cody is a strategist and senior staff officer, and Rex is a field junior officer. Rex just doesn't have the data that senior officers should have.

the clone wars begins with one of the very first battles after the switch from rank colors to unit colors. That is the Battle of Christophsis.

[@Rossebma]

Never liked this rank structure. Suffers from the typical star wars problem: "everyone is an officer". The more I think about it: With that rank structure the GAR would have collapsed within weeks due to a lack of NCO's. I think it just wouldn't work... //Edit: Quick question: What are your sources? Are you focusing on legends or canon?

[@therealchen]

What about Clone Generals?

[@Usualrocketjumpingmaniac]

There is no general rank for the clones

[@james33-p6y]

There is in legends i think. There's a general clone named ''Cards''@@Usualrocketjumpingmaniac

[@CommandergreeCC]

Gree lead the 41st elite core/ranger Patoon/scout battalion so he would be a marshal commander

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

The 41st Elite Corps, despite its name, is actually a legion, so Gree being a Senior Commander is correct.

[@kingisgree6257]

@CloneCommanderCrater1102 you are wrong Gree would have to be a marshal commander to be in charge of a core

[@kingisgree6257]

And look up gree rank

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

@kingisgree6257 False. The 41st Elite Corps, in both canon and legends, is a legion within the 9th Assault Corps (you can't have a corps within a corps fyi). Commander Gree in both canon and legends is simply referred to as a commander, not a marshal commander like Cody, Bly, Neyo, or Bacara (the ONLY known marshal commanders in all of legends and canon).

[@tommydunbar1845]

There is 36,000 clones in a corp not 163,000 and ponds was a marshal commander because he was in charge of the 91st reconnaissance corp

[@kingbooomer9231]

in terms of the numbers it will always be in dispute because George Lucas during the conception of the GAR (and people after him) didn’t quite flesh out the scale of the Clone Wars and the armies within it. As for Ponds it is most likely (but possibly disputed) that he was Marshal Commander, but we know for a fact that Neyo by 19BBY most definitely was

[@Tazmaina]

To think his body is probably still floating in space…RIP Ponds. The first on screen named Clone.

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

Ponds didn't lead the entire 91st, though. Marshal Commander Neyo was in charge of the 91st Mobile Reconnaissance Corps since the beginning of the war and Ponds was only one of the many sub-commanders within the 91st.

[@kingbooomer9231]

@@CloneCommanderCrater1102 Neyo, although we don't know his position and service early in the war, was most definitely a Marshal Commander of the 91st by the time the Republic became an Empire. As we know Ponds was in charge of one of the first detachments of troops (Yellow Clone talking to Mace in EPII) along with the fact that commanders and liaisons of Jedi Council members typically were in charge of sector or system armies, we can safely (but not concretely) assume Ponds was most likely the Marshal Commander of the 91st Legion until his untimely demise. It would've left a power vacuum that would eventually be filled with Neyo. Or at least that is the speculation most people make
