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.

"Marines" are a service branch; the meaning itself is wrong as the name of a legion. A legion should be the XXth Whatever Legion. Combine this with the fact this body becomes the "Imperial Marines," and the conclusion is obvious.

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.
