- "Hmm... learned something day, have you lieutenant, hmm?"
"I think we all did, General." - ―Jedi Master Yoda and Clone Lieutenant "Thire"
Clone Lieutenant was a rank in the Grand Army of the Republic held by clone trooper officers who commanded platoons of thirty-six troopers[1] and held the unit position of platoon leader.[2] The four lieutenants of a company were in turn led by their respective clone captain. Standard[1] Phase I[3] lieutenants wore clone trooper armor featuring four blue colored circles on the left chestplate as well as a stripe of blue down the length of each arm, vertically up the middle of the helmet and laterally around the visor.[1]
One notable Clone Lieutenant was CC-4477, also known as "Thire," who served in the Coruscant Guard as a clone shock trooper. During the Clone Wars, he accompanied Jedi Master Yoda to Rugosa in order to persuade King Katuunko to ally with the Galactic Republic.[4] Similarly, "Trap" was a clone lieutenant who led Tango Company on a mission to escort a Republic medical frigate back to the Ord Cestus medical station. Whilst en route to the station, fellow clone trooper "Scythe" was infected by a Geonosian brain worm which led to the infection of all other clones onboard, including Trap.[5]
Clone trooper pilots could also hold the rank of lieutenant, and one clone pilot lieutenant served as a pilot on a gunship during the Battle of Teth.[6]

Star Wars: The Clone Wars – "Carnage of Krell" exhibits Waxer as being the platoon leader of a platoon. According to Star Wars: Complete Locations, platoons in the Grand Army of the Republic were led by a Clone Lieutenant. Therefore, the Clone Lieutenant in a platoon held this unit position, so Waxer must have been a lieutenant during the events of the episode.
