Clone trooper captain (TCWU)

During the Clone Wars, the clone trooper captain was a specialized breed of clone trooper who were bred as battlefield officers and special missions operatives during the Clone Wars.

Role
During the Battle of Geonosis, clone trooper captains were recognizable by the red markings on their helmets and torso, but afterwards became more customized in their style and appearance. This trend was started by the ARC-77's training program for clone officers, who in turn passed the individuality to other clones in the Grand Army of the Republic. Clone trooper captains were assigned to lead a company of 144 clone troopers which were divided into separate platoons. Captains who had been through the ARC training program utilized an array of personalized gear, both for cosmetic and tactical use.
