A company was a ground military unit, normally relatively small force of troops.

In the Grand Army of the Republic, a normal company of clone trooopers consisted of four platoons, a total of 144 soldiers, led by a Captain; four such companies formed a standard battalion. Among the clone commando forces of the Special Operations Brigade, however, a company contained 100 commandos, organized in 5 troops, and five companies formed a Commando Group.

Subsequently, in the Imperial Army, the company of four platoons remained standard, but now companies in specialized roles were organized differently, with different numbers of troops and as well as the four combat platoons, each company was equipped with a dedicated detail of command and support personnel. This made the company the smallest type of unit which could operate autonomously of its parent formation for any extended period of time, be support personnel.

In all Imperial Army companies, additional to the front-line troops, the command and support detail comprised five officers, 23 non-commissioned personnel and 118 droids. The officers were the commanding Captain, his second-in-command, the Company Lieutenant, and specialst logistics, technical and medical officers, also graded as lieutenants. These last three were directly responsible for the three component elements of the support detail:
 * logistcs: eight soldiers, and 88 droids
 * technical: eleven soldiers and 22 droids
 * medical: four soldiers and 8 droids
