- "Captain, I've found their platoon leader."
- ―Clone medic Kix, to Clone Captain Rex after finding Waxer
A platoon leader was a position in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars that was given to a clone trooper in command of a platoon,[1] who held the rank of Clone Lieutenant.[4] Waxer served as the platoon leader of a platoon during the Battle of Umbara.[1]
One stormtrooper served as a platoon leader over a formation within Gideon's Imperial remnant.[3] Within the First Order's Stormtrooper Corps, the stormtrooper Company 77's leadership included platoon leaders. At the Battle of Ansett Island, the company's platoon and squad leaders rallied together in defiance of orders to fire on innocent civilians.[2]

- ↑ 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.
