The Trooper is the heart of the Republic's ground force. Soldier feel distant from the decision making (and they are), but small squad sizes allow them to feel like vital parts of their mission. Instead of shuffling around anonymously from force to force, Republic commanders keep effective squads together, allowing camaraderie to develop. A Republic Army Trooper might not know what planet he or she is on or what enemy they are fighting, but they know the names of their fellow grunts, who keeps them alive.
Unfortunately when Troopers pick up areas of specialization, the Republic of this era does a poor job of recognizing that talent and moving it where it is needed. As a result, Troopers who excel in areas such as Heavy Weapons or amphibious assault are not recognized and moved to units where that knowledge can be applied. Some Troopers see this as a hindrance to their careers, but some take advantage of the ground military's logistical chaos and hook up on the battlefield with the unit they want to join. Given the time required to replace personnel lost in battle, many sergeants look the other way.
