The 2nd Airborne Company, known simply as the 2nd Airborne or 2nd Company, was a clone paratrooper company that served in the Grand Army of the Republic's 212th Attack Battalion during the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
Led by High Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi, the 2nd Airborne Company had a distinct disdain for Mandalorians, which they took out on other clone troopers of the Grand Army. The 2nd Airborne took part in the Battle of Utapau, one of the final conflicts of the Clone Wars.
Following the activation of Order 66 by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, the clones of the 2nd Airborne Company turned on their former Jedi leader, and later helped overpower the planet Utapau for the newly formed Galactic Empire.
