The 282nd Regiment comprised 2,304 clone troopers, supplemented by support staff, and functioned as an armored regiment within a brigade of the Grand Army of the Republic. This unit participated in the Clone Wars, the conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Supervised by both a Jedi Commander and a clone regimental commander, the 282nd Regiment was organized into four battalions and employed vehicles such as a TX-130 Saber-class fighter tank distinguished by red markings, and an All Terrain Attack Pod walker featuring orange markings.
The Star Wars PocketModel TCG trading card game's Ground Assault set, released in 2007 by WizKids Games, included two vehicle cards that referenced the 282nd Regiment.
