Droid army rank structure, at the top you have General Grievous, and below him you have roger, and roger roger, and so on.
Seems legit

I believe the rank structure from highest to lowest for the CIS is general aka grievous and partly and temporarily dooku then the droid ranks go as follows officer sergeant and commander i believe but not sure which order exactly
I see that
“Thats a lotttt of clankers” said some poor clone boi
Given how many clones there were, we can assume that many clones said these as their last words.
@@geetslys probably more than those who said it and lived. honestly. People often overlook just how bloody the clone wars were. Changed the whole galaxy forever after that.
@@geetslys not this channel tho, that’s why i love
Rip the clone boys
@@geetslys i didn,t have last words the only thing i heard were clanker screams.
and at the bottom is that droid who scrubbed floors and got pushed into a cell by Obi-wan
The worst job in the Droid Army
My poor boy got the worst job in the army
@@youtubecensoredme245 but he probably ended up surviving the battle longer than the others if you think about it
I love how he just got left there lol. The Ryloth episodes were AMAZING.
@@LaughingCrowcorp i wonder what that lil boi has become
The CIS Navy ranks and structure would be interesting
It would!!

For sure, I want that video: if it hasn't been made by now.
People have been asking for this for at least three years now, I looked on the latest video and people asked same yhing
“But I just got promoted! AAAAAA-“
--Battle droid commander, moments before being annihilated by a space leprechaun with a glow stick.
It wasn’t even his fault either, he was probably one of the smartest droid commanders out of the bunch, it’s just that his forces were either defective due to the fact that b1 programming can only go so far, or that b1 programming had a particularly difficult time processing that specific scenario.
I kinda wish we could see more of the droids’ perspectives and see the occasional defects that end up being better than they were built for, or more scenarios in which they gain freedom from their programming.
I didn't like that the Droids in the Show used "Napoleonic formations", in the Movies, they only did that once on Naboo and it made sense considering the situation.
I agree, in the Theed palace, they were quite effective.
That's mostly because for the regular Naboo, they didn't really have an army. Just glorified police.
th-cam.com/video/IGITpW4kuzI/w-d-xo.html
I have to give it to the gungans though. They did have an army and were skilled warriors but their numbers were more limited and they were more primitive so the lines and blocks the trade federation used actually works really well. Along with a central control ship being needed.
@@marrqi7wini54 in theed palace and in the various clips from the battle of geonosis and clone wars (from episode 3), show the droids slipt up and in spread out in looser formations, making use of available cover as well as fire and maneuver techniques. the droids did not just march into every battle in squares according to the movies...
and a 'glorified police force' is all you need for fighting inside a building, no space for heavy equipment. the Naboo security forces had extensive marksmanship training (so they could counter assassins). the B1s were able to defeat the Naboo security forces in small arms urban combat fairly easily, even forceing main characters to retreat.
Yeah I agree. In the movies they actually used cover and seemingly had actual tactics. One of my biggest gripes with The Clone Wars is how underpowered the "bad guys" were.
if you watch the battledroids in the Geonosis areana and on utapau in the movies, you see they actually use cover and dont just march out in huge columns
The way B1 battledroid units emerged fro their carrier and then simultaniously activated and unfolded, stood up and grabbed their blasters is so badass. And intiminating
"sQuAd 1, pRePaRe tO cHaRgE"
Gotta say it in their adorably nasally voice.
@@geetslys But I also like the deep sound voices of the Super Battle Droids. It complements the eager sounding B1s into battle as they seem to a sort of apathetic attitude at times. Some how I can just a Picture a Super Battle Droid being saying WTF the Dude as sees a B1 charge get mowed down by clones troopers or clone trooper operating a heavy anti infantry support blaster cannon and then proceeding to face palm afterwards.
Just the whole like I am done mentality when shit hits the fan at least the impression I get. Like I just picture a Super Battle Droid just walking away from the battle field then finding a rock or public bench if its in an urban environment and sitting down. Then presses some buttons his wrist arm then pulls of up digital displace then starts reading or watching the news and then groaning at the unfavourable outcome of how the CIS war effort is doing or his favourite sport team or both.
Then General Grevious joining the Super Battle Droid and then saying something like at least I am not the only one frustrated with those Stupid B1 droid models.

The size in scale of the CIS makes more sense to me in terms of numbers and organization than the army of the grand republic. The army of the grand republic just doesn't seem to have enough troops involved for something on a galactic scale and has in my opinion a more complex rank structure that doesn't really make sense. Droid army is simple all droids obey a organic commander or a tactical droid that's it really simple. Also unit sizes based off of transportation also is fairly simple to understand.
Oh you should see the Imperial army. It only gets more weird. The navy is pretty alright.
Honestly, Star Wars almost never gets numbers right.
Bro, there were several other cloning facilities besides Comino. However, clones are not the bulk of the army. Sectors all had their own armies and fleets.
I mean. Realistically the CIS woulda crushed the republic in al situations if this was a real, REAL battle without Jedi.
Perhaps
Even with the Jedi the CIS would crush the republic if it wasn't for palp engineering the whole war so that the CIS would lose. I mean Grievous managed to attack coruscant while Palp was trying to stop him, only losing when a surprise army appeared from the moon. The master of the sith was caught off guard and forced to move his plans forward. Quite an achievement. Also the CIS attack on kamino would have succeeded if Obi didn't by chance intercept a message saying they were going to attack and then saw there was too much rubble. No kamino, no troops.
@@jacobgame2757 daddy palps organized all that
Never thought of this tbh but very interesting
That's what we try and do here!
@@geetslys we?
I love the CIS faction they seem one of the most organized Factions in Starwars. ( Having the Trade Federation, Techno Union, The Collcoid, The Banking Clan, The Hapes, The Umbrians, and some others in part of the CIS which some of them are very very very advanced).
I've heard that in Starwars Legends that the CIS has over Qui Trillions of different types and kinds of droids in the many sections and the sectors of the main Galaxy . Spread all over the place though mostly in the Outer Rim. And also having a unbeatable Droid army in the deep deep Core.
The CIS has the ability to easily overwhelm and is able to keep pumping out droids out non stop In the Starwars Legends Universe. They also basically had Super weapons with them also like the. ( Starwara Legends Super weapons the Proto Death Star, Death Star I , The Dark Reaper, The Meloverence The Devestation, and having some others in their hold. )
Umbrians?
@@SockAccount111think he ment umbarans
I was just thinking about this the other day and wondered why there was no videos about this topic. Geetsly great video.
We are mind readers.
@@geetslys Thanks Geetsly
I would like to think that the droid military ranking system would be based on experienced droids being uploaded into a newer version of programming, or if taken out in battle, uploaded to some computer and downloaded into a new body, learning all the way, possibly into different types of droids. With time and serving 'X' amount of time certain droids, for example a downed Battle Droid being downloaded into a Destroyer droid, it is finally uploaded into an improved body that can contain more memory, eventually being promoted to a high logistics droid for the army as a type of 'General' then being 'promoted' to the Navy to eventually be promoted to an 'Admiral' droid then a droid that can be flaunt for both.
Like Rex said, "In my view, experience outranks everything."
Roger Roger. Yeah, the Separatists could afford to treat their armies like weapons and their soldiers like bullets. There all the same size, and when you run out of ammo, you get more and but it back into the weapon, ready to go.
Could you imagine is Yoda and his three clones had to take on 118 AATs like a battalion should have had instead of just 3?
"WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS!!"
The last time I was this early the empire was still the republic
Last time I was this early this channel only had 3400 subscribers.
I've never noticed that pre CIS Trade Federation B1 droids had restraining bolts
they have them in all 3 movies. its just a stylistic choice in the clone wars
"hey Rex watch those wrist rockets" "will do commander" Rex
Watch those Wrist Rockets!
Seeing the Republic Ranks and structure would be very interesting to see!
Well that one is a bit more easily understood because it mimics real-world militaries!
Great video about a topic I hadn't thought to think about. I'd say, I'd like to know more about specific Separatist commands, i.e. Admiral Trench. That being communicated with Sgt. Geetsly's inquiry: "Roger. Roger."
Great suggestion!
long live the DROID ARMY. also this was a very nice info video. im glad my question was answered.
Are Commander droids built or are they promoted? If a promotion is a thing what were the requirements for a regular B1 to reach a higher position? Tbh it would make an interesting video.
I was a normal b1 once, then oom-9 died and my brain chip was switched to a commander one
@@nigelmarvin1387 I guess so its just that I get confused a little bit since we sometimes hear droid talking about promotion
“We don’t accept droids here” ok we don’t care
Droid voice* “Blast em!”
The companies are actual manufacturing companies. Mind blown.
Watch those wrist rockets.
Just like the simulations
Grevious realy said "Its reforming time"
I was just looking at the clone version today ha
Ironic
@Neyo 8826 ya
Yo I love your videos
Yo I love you.
Have always wondered this thanks awesome video
"oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. F*ck" a scared af clone when theres no escape pods when they need em
Watch those wrist rockets!
Watch those wrist rockets.
Also, since you've done this type of video for the Republic and CIS, would you consider doing this for the Rebels and Empire too?
3:55 is where the actual size and numbers in units is fully ran through in case like me you needed it for table top RPG
Watch those wrist rockets
what sort of support units did the GAR and CIS have access to? There are artillery in Republic formations but where do they fit in? Where do the tri-droids and other stuff show up in CIS formations? I'm assuming they're attached ad hoc by writers when they feel like adding some visual diversity to the droid army. Same thing with equivalent Republic stuff. I'd be curious to see how it could (or has) been ex post facto justified or (through something that would surprise me) preexisting explanation. I do like that droid formations have a very good reason for being the way they are: transport capacity and that they have integrated armored support that takes advantage of one of their best assets: the AAT. This has been my inner military science fiction writer.

Hey Geetsly Love your videos!
I have a question, what do you think Din Djarin aka Mando thought when in the last episode the rescue. When the doctor told him that the Dark troopers are completly droids? What his thought process were at that moment, regarding his past with droids. Both from his Young age and his new experiences with droids. Would be awesome to see a video om what you think his thoughts were at that moment.
Keep Up the awsome work!
When an droid says 'Rogger Rogger' its a soothing feeling imo.
Magna guards vs Dark troopers
Roger Roger
Sir yes sir
The one battle droid says to the other droid were independent thinkers proceeded to say, Roger, Roger simultaneously.
Roger. Roger.- Captain Rex
i feel like the thing larger than army would be either a campaign or a theater
"Watch those wrist rockets"
Your voice is so southing I could listen to it all day 😂
"Policy administration directorate"

Here's a breakdown:
Squad - 8 Droids, led by sergeant (followed by lieutenant)
Platoon - 7 squads (56 droids, led by lieutenant)
Company - 2 platoons (112 droids, led by officer. Ferried by transport)
Battalion - 7 companies (782 droids, led by commander. 7 transports and 24 AATs)
Vanguards - 11 companies (1232 droids, led by commander. 11 transports and 42 tanks/heavy vehicles)
Regiment - 1 vanguard + 4 battalions (4368 droids, led by commander, can be droid or organic. 114 tanks/heavy vehicles. C-9979 landing craft capacity)
Division - 5 regiments (21840 droids + complement, 5 C-9979s. Droid officer)
Corp - 5 Divisions (109200 droids + complement, 25 C-9979s. Droid officer)
Army - 2 corps (218400 droids, 50 C-9979s, 1750 MTTs, 5700 AAT, support and officers. Lucrehulk Battleship/carrier capacity. Additional reinforcements from Lucrehulk: 300 transports, 550 AATs, 112000 droids. Under command of Battleship Captain)
Larger forces commanded by General.
I have always wondered why the imperial military got a much more detailed order of battle. Care to take a look?
The odd thing is they have order of battles for the ships and fighters of the imperial navy. Yet the army only show the non-stormtrooper forces seen in Star Wars: Solo.
This was one of the most interesting videos you've made in some while :)

Watch out for those wrist rockets!

Can you do this with the other factions as well? I’d like to see how the alliance received orders from the higher ups as well.
This sounds like a spy droid wrote it
Watch those wrist rockets id love to see the ranks of the organics in the cis
Where did you get your droid army table of organization? I’ve been trying to find there unit sizes forever 😅
Watch those wristrockets
You know the more I think about it the CIS are pretty great like god imagine having that much power at your fingertips holy moly.
Check those wrist rockets
Watch those wrist rockets dude
Roger Roger, get us some Seppie Navy videos!
You know, considering world war 2 and how few armies are used there the droid armies are kind of small. Im trying to math out the numbers of droids based on the number of armies and it just seems insufficient.
I'm interested in the Republic Navy. Just so I don't have to watch for those wrist rockets.
watch those wrist rogers
Watch those wrist rockets!!
What was the unit indentification In CIS (eee B1-3762 or R0-KM)
Can you do one on the gun gans
Was battlefront 2 the only game that actually said watch those wrist rockets

Roger roger!!
Idk man but I do know that you have to watch those wrist rockets
THATS A LOT OF DROIDS, -
Would have been nice if the sizes of droid groups were in powers of 2. (32 for a platoon, 64, 128 and so on)
Watch those wrist rockets! Said no member of my squad ever!
I always like to think the Droid Army Officer relays orders through com.link through the droid network to coordinate in the battlefield.
Rodger rodger...
So the droid army was an entire RTS based hierarchy? Swag
So what happened in the event a particularly stubborn and Powerful Republic/GAR defense was engaged???
I'm guessing all those Superweapons and Sorta Sith were sent in to try an finally break through.

Hey Geetsly's, can you do a theory video on if Yoda had won against Sideous in ROTS, but Obi-Wan lost to Anakin?
Edit: Great Video btw!
The only thing that’s complicated in the galaxy is the Senate.
Not really. It’s a federalised system meaning each senator represents a planet, and that senator speaks to others senate to make negations and trade deals on behalf of their people. It’s sort of like the United States
@Ferny Panda at least a bit before and during The Clone Wars, you meant
Comment with Roger Roger or watch those wrist rockets, me: Roger Roger
Roger Roger the navy is awesome
A question, Did the Jedi ever use battle meditation during clone wars?
If only the Seperatists won.
