History[]

Companies were a common size and frequently used during the Clone Wars. Corps were commonly broken down into hundreds of companies, focusing on speed and used as quick raiding parties on enemy locations.[1] Companies were often simply standard infantry companies, but occasionally consisted of specialized troopers, such as the 2nd Airborne Company.[3]

It was uncommon for SOB companies to be deployed as a single unit. Company barracks existed, but in combat, clone commandos fought in squads of 4.[2]
