Commander Class

The Commander Class, Squad Leader Class, or High Officer Class was a frequent division in most armies and navies. It consisted of Commanders (see Commander) who carried officer's pistols and were established as the head soldiers of infantry squads. They often carried out orders to their lesser officers and initiated demands from battle strategists.

The most famous commanders were the Stormtrooper Commanders (Imperial Squad Leaders) of the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps, Clone Commanders of the Grand Army of the Republic, Battle Droid Commanders of Battle Droid Army, and the Rebel Leaders under the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
