Republic Infantry

The Republic Infantry was a division in the Army of the Republic Military. The Army enlisted more new recruits per year than most of the other branches of the armed forces combined, with the overwhelming majority serving in infantry units. Infantry units did the bulk of the fighting on the war's front lines. More than 80 percent of engagements against the Sith Empire involved some degree of infantry combat. During the Great Galactic War, Cold War, and the Galactic War with the resurgent Sith Empire, the Republic Infantry fought on battlefields across the galaxy. Notable units included the Second, Fourth, Thirty-eighth, Eighty-first, 86th, and 301st Infantries were among the various units within the Republic Infantry.
