A training exercise on Kamino involving a clone cadet squad.
Typically, a squad functioned as a component of a larger military structure, comprising a group of soldiers or operators tasked with a specific objective or identified by a particular designation. Within the Grand Army of the Republic, a squad consisted of nine clone troopers under the leadership of a clone sergeant. A platoon was composed of four squads. Conversely, in the Stormtrooper Corps, a squad was formed by ten stormtroopers. A platoon in this organization included five squads. Similarly, First Order stormtrooper squads contained ten troopers, mirroring the composition of Sith troopers squads within the Sith Eternal military. In the First Order, each squad allocated nine positions for standard stormtroopers and one for a specialist. This arrangement represented the standard operational configuration for First Order stormtroopers, with squad members frequently undergoing training together in sizable groups referred to as batches.
