Commander cody

My favorite clone troopers are clone cadets clone commanders Arc troopers phase 1 troopers and phase 2 clone troopers clone lieutenant and aqua clone troopers

But in terms of rank my favorite is phase 1 captains

Galactic Marines or 212th Sky Corp Para Troopers (I think)

Sev from Republic commando

So did phase 2 they still have pauldrons and such to signify rank

Unless you’re assigned to the 327th. I don’t believe Inc is an officer. Galle is a Lt. and obviously Bly.

@@frasermckevitt2417 I feel like a full pauldron, kama, visor and whatever else woukd be easier to see 💀

​@@TazmainaGalle, Barr, and Inc are all lieutenants in the 327th.

At least, only in the first Battle of Geonosis

It remains tiny compared to the 250 billion droids of the CIS

nononono they had 200 000 ready not 2mill ;P big difference ;P

Yeah, so did separatist snipers

@pailhorsegaming6762 Full auto snipers because "Lol! Get wrecked Clones!"

To be fair, high ranking cloned bois had more unique armor than the average cloned boi

Yeah, it certainly made a lot more sense. Imagine the confusion when Commander Appo walks up to a unit of his men looking like a private and starts giving orders. They could have adopted the unit color markings but kept the colored rank markings on the chest, those four dots

​@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.

Corps

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.

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.

Wasn’t Ahsoka the commander

@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.

​@@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.

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.

To be honest I’m only finding out how low on ranks he technically was. As a kid watching the clone wars show I always just assumed he was one of the top dogs in the entire clone army and even people like Cody were one rank below

@@Dr.EmmettBrown.same

​@@Dr.EmmettBrown. if you watched season 7, they made him a commander! Not sure if it was temporary but he was.

@@Da_padillaHe sort of got de ranked by Arc Trooper Jesse during Order 66.

Same

Rex really was LONG over-due for a promotion.

Rex was *not* a good candidate to lead a whole legion. Think of it in the practical sense - would Rex achieve more as the commander of the 501st or as the captain of Torrent Company? Remember how much Torrent Company achieved for the 501st in general, and in larger battles the 501st generally faired a lot worse. The only major success as a legion was under Appo at the Jedi Temple.

Rex did get promoted to Commander right before Mandalore, then got demoted when he tried to save Tano from 66 after he got his chip removed.

@@rumsmuggler30 Well he got stripped of his rank, not just demoted. He was literally dishonourably discharged from the Grand Army of the Republic, and being discharged was often a death sentence.

True...Well it's a good thing only he and Tano survived then.@@tk-6967

I think Bacara was one of the Marshall commanders

While Fox is never explicitly stated to be a marshal commander, he leads the Coruscant Guard which is a corps which means he has to be a marshal commander. The same goes for Gree and the fact that he leads the 9th Assault Corps.

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

Awww chinchilla my favorite animal and my best friend forever

41st was originally a Legion

The 41st isn't actually a corps, it's just a legion. It's just called a corps likely because it helped with Cognitive congruency of their task profile. For all intents and purposes, it's just a legion that probably operates like a corp, but it's under the command of Bly's corps, if I remember correctly.

​@@physical_insanity Gree and the 41st are actually a part of the 9th Assault Corps under General Luminara Unduli, not the 327th Star Corps under General Aayla Secura and Marshal Commander Bly, but everything else you said is 100% correct.

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.

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.

@@CloneCommanderCrater1102Rex would have easily out ranked cody if he wanted

@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.

@@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.

They never will. It's just one of those things that wasn't thought about properly, and now we have to roll with it

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. The first troopers to wear Phase 2 armor were ARC Troopers. This included commanding officers Blitz Colt and Havoc. Echo and Fives then wore Phase 2 armor when they were promoted to ARC Troopers. The first episode where the entire army switched to Phase 2 on camera is Season 4 Episode 5 with Wolffe's 104th Battalion. Hope this helps. The Clone Army is very cool.

@@Sziizr thank you that's very helpful

First order troopers look weak sauce to me I feel like they could of done better

That seems to generally be the case in canon, where most commanders start off as commanders on Kamino, but some achieve the rank through battlefield promotions.

I have no idea but I think they were at least Lieutenant since that's the lowest officer rank

@@G31M1 could be I always say but who knows

No, Wolfe was a battalion commander, not a marshal commander.

@@Bleakmidwntr850 I suggest you use Google... Wolfe commands the 104th Wolfpack Support Battalion. His rank is Battalion Commander. I even came by for your sake and looked it up in the handbook, on wookipedia, and in my archives. Everywhere his rank is just commander, or if we are to take the exact rank, he is battalion commander.

Wolffe was only a battalion commander as the 104th was a battalion.

In the Army context it makes sense

Clones were army not navy also Clone Commander seems to be equivalent to a Lieutenant Colonel

As in real armies, there are 2 types of ranks. 1. Ground forces 2. Fleet troops. These structures have different titles. A fleet captain will be equal to the rank of battalion commander or regimental commander. Army captain will be equal to the rank below navy captain.

He doesn't, he leads Torrent Company and units related to it. It isn't really provable whether or not Rex commanded the 501st. In Legends the 501st had multiple commanders, but we only meet them near the end of the war or under the Empire, and since Filoni doesn't really care about the EU they have largely been ignored.

That's why he was promoted to commander in the last season

Or maybe Anakin leads from Torrent Company. Who says Torrent isnt an HQ Company? The real question is who’s the overall leader of the 501st if Appo was a Sgt. by Umbara and Vill didn’t take over until Appos death?

@@Tazmaina apparently ahsoka is commander

Because dave filoni is an idiot and doesn't know the difference

Yea exactly

No, the 501st, being a legion, would have 20 different commanders within its ranks (4 Regimental Commanders and 16 Battalion Commanders). Rex, despite officially holding the rank of captain, had the authority of the Senior Commander of the 501st due to Anakin's unorthodox leadership.

@@CloneCommanderCrater1102 No, Rex does not have the authority of a junior commander. A senior commander, and even lower-ranking commanders, still weigh more.

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

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

And look up gree rank

@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).

Most likely Battalion or Regimental Commander

No, Gree was a Senior Commander because the 41st Elite Corps, despite its name, was actually a legion.

@@CloneCommanderCrater1102cope cody lover

@myhonorwasloyalty This comment was about Commander Gree and never even mentioned Commander Cody. What are you on about, ya di'kut?

ARCs and Commandos had the exact same ranking system as the rest of the GAR, which is why there are ARC captains, ARC commanders, ARC lieutenants, commando sergeants, and commando captains.

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

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

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.

@@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

granted I'm more than open to being wrong, I've looked around and the sources are pretty vague in itself so

There is no general rank for the clones

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

No

Wrong

Unknown but he is refered as 'sir'

If I am not wrong He was a Lieutenant

It's never officially specified, but he was almost certainly either a corporal or a sergeant. Echo, we know for a fact is a corporal, so it stands to reason that Fives would either hold the same rank or one above.

A very basic clone who was lucky to be noticed. But in general, Fives most likely was in the rank of sergeant before his death, but there is an opinion that Fives could have been a lieutenant in the torrent company.

Yep, at the beginning of the war Rex would be red and commanders like Cody, Wolffe, and Gree would be yellow.
