Clone Commanders were an advanced breed of Clone Trooper that specialized in commanding clone regiments and battalions in the Grand Army of the Republic. These commanders usually served as the second-in-command to Jedi Generals in battle.
Advanced Training[]
Clone commanders received a higher degree of training than other clones. Their training gave them quicker thinking and coordination, and as a result, gave them more individuality than other clones.
Clone Battalion Commander[]
Clone battalion commanders led battalions of clone troopers while supported by majors. This role could also be filled by Jedi Commanders or, often times, battalion commanders worked in tandem with Jedi commanders or generals.
Clone Regimental Commander[]
Clone regimental commanders were commanders placed in charge of regiments, in addition to Jedi Commanders.
Senior Clone Commander[]
A Senior clone commander, such as Gree, was a high-ranking clone officer placed in charge of a legion alongside a Jedi General. There were 320 Senior commanders within the Grand Army of the Republic.
Clone Marshal Commander[]
The highest possible rank of a clone trooper, Clone marshal commanders received even further advanced training than their standard counterparts and often led corps with High Jedi Generals. Commander Cody was one such Marshal Commander who commanded the 7th Sky Corps.
Distinction[]
Normally, clone commanders wore standard clone trooper armor with yellow markings on their gloves and boots. However, this was seldom seen for most of the war, as color more frequently signified unit affiliation, not rank. Most clone commanders had a certain distinction from the regular clones, and would often customize their armor to show their high ranking status. At first, the commanders were distinguished by colored markings on their armor. Add-ons such as kamas and pauldrons became more prominent along with personalized markings and equipment such as DC-17 pistols, grenades, and ammo belts.
