Republic Army

The Republic Army were the ground military forces of the Galactic Republic from its founding in 25,000 BBY until 2,000 BBY. Unlike its famous naval counterpart, not much is known of the Republic Army, other than its forces included rocket-jumpers and the Academy of Carida was one of its officer training schools.

Around 2,000 BBY, when the Republic essentially collapsed at the start of the New Sith Wars, the Republic Army was replaced with the Jedi-led Army of Light. Following the end of the Wars in 1,000 BBY, the Ruusan Reformation nearly eliminated the Republic's military. The Republic Army remained, but was nothing more than a purely symbolic force; the few remaining ground military units were placed under the jursidiction of the Judicial Forces. The Republic came to rely on local militaries for the majority of ground forces.

After the start of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY, the ground units of the Judicial Forces were inserted into the Grand Army of the Republic; presumably, the formal Republic Army was, as well.
