The separate Republic Starfighter Corps and Special Operations Brigade were also added. The army of clones secretly created on Kamino became the backbone of the Grand Army of the Republic. The Judicial Forces became a part of the new Republic Navy. With the eruption of the Clone Wars the Republic created a new military. The ranks of the Judicials were very basic and the force itself was relatively small as they depended on the support of the Planetary Security Forces which had widely varying ranks. The Judicial Department's Forces became the Republic's main fighting force. After the Ruusan Reformation the Republic Military was officially disbanded. ĭuring the New Sith Wars, the Republic Army was briefly reorganized as the Army of Light with a Jedi Lord in command. Though the Republic Army and Republic Navy had similar ranks, there were some variations. The military answered ultimately to the Supreme Chancellor and the Galactic Senate.

Also, due to the diversity of the members of the military, regulations specified that any personnel of higher rank than oneself, regardless of the species, gender or position was to be addressed as 'sir'. Commander was given as a general title reflecting someone in command but not as a specific rank. The ranks held by members of the Galactic Republic Military varied by era, for instance, during the Old Sith Wars the rank of Captain, or more accurately Fleet Captain was used to refer to Admirals.
