Clone troopers were soldiers in the Grand Army of the Republic.
"Sometimes being a good soldier means doing what you think is right."
?Argyus Gnome-speakernotesListen (file info)[src]
A soldier, also referred to as a trooper, or warrior, was a being who fought,
usually in an army or navy, in defense of an organization, government, or ideal.
Soldiers were well trained and organized to fight and some were in elite units or
special forces. Soldiers were generally the front-line fighters while officers
served as commanders and strategists.

The Galactic Republic was protected for centuries by the Jedi Order who served as
peacekeepers but maintained they were not soldiers. The Republic was also protected
by the Judicial Forces, while the Galactic Senate on Coruscant was protected by the
Senate Guard and its elite Commandos. Member worlds like Naboo and Mon Cala
typically had their own armies, such as the Royal Naboo Security Forces, Gungan
Grand Army or Mon Calamari Guard.
With the eruption of the Clone Wars, the Republic formed the Grand Army composed of
clone troopers considered the greatest soldiers in galactic history. They fought
the Separatist armies who used battle droids instead of flesh and blood soldiers.
After the war, the new Galactic Empire used the clones as the basis for the the
Imperial stormtroopers who served as elite soldiers and shock troops, a practice
continued by the First Order. The Galactic Empire also made use of elite soldiers
selected from the Stormtrooper Corps called death troopers, which were used to
guard high-placed Imperial officers.
The Alliance to Restore the Republic had Rebel troopers who were its ground forces
fighting against the Empire. The New Republic had a standing army, but its decision
to ignore the First Order meant the Resistance had to rely on lightly-armored
troopers like its predecessor.
