The conclusion is also wrong.
The SW site says:
The progression of the Clone Wars saw increasing diversification within the Grand Army of the Republic. Clone troopers became more specialized, and specific units were distinguished by mission profiles and customized armor. One of the most feared and versatile units were the Galactic Marines, under the command of General Ki-Adi-Mundi and Clone Commander Bacara.

Stop with the overblowing reaction. He said that there is a Legion called the Galactic Marines. Which is PERFECTLY alright, because he didn't say that meant the entire Clone Army wasn't the Galactic Marines.

As for Grand Army of the Republic, Shatterpoint made the thrust that the Clone Army was the Grand Army of the Republic, however, additional non-clone units were being trained and would be similarly inducted into that army. Such as how Windu inducted a native into the Grand Army.

Apart from the E-11 and and the DLT-19, what other weapons do stormtroopers have?

Are their ranks like the ranks in modern militaries, like private, pfc, corporal, the diferrent grades of sergeant, and commisioned officers?

Are they organized in squads with different fire teams and a squad leader?

Are they under the Imperial Navy or Army?

Finally, are their dedicated troop transports used for them apart from the old Acclamators?

Thanks in advance for any info.
they are also equipped with vibroblades

What source is it that calls Stormtroopers Imperial Marines?
