Formally established in 985 RSY, the Grand Army of the Republic serves as the Ground branch of the Republic Military. Although the concept of the Republic Military at all had been taboo within the halls of the Senate, the advent of hostilities with the Trade Federation had created wide-spread support for the passage of the Chancellors own Armed Forces Act. Since the formation of the Grand Army, their ranks have consisted near-entirely of Clones, with a hand few Humans to serve as support staff.
The Army serves as a branch under the Republic Military, which itself is managed by the Republic Strategic Command, which serves as the General Staff for the Military, formed by the highest ranks of both the Army and Navy, the Director of Intelligence and additional support staff. Command of the Army falls to the Marshal Commander
