color coding your ranks in combat is very useful, to your enemy sniper forces.
+VictorLepanto It helps soldiers recognize each other and send specific soldiers to specific places instead of saying, "Who's a sniper? raise your hand, (raises hand) okay you go!"
+Finn Thornhill haha yeah, even without helmets they were all clones so they looked the same. guess that's why it became less organized during clone wars (thanks to the cartoon mainly)
+Finn Thornhill soldiers in a tight knit unit usually know, by name and face, the jobs of everyone in their unit. like victor pointed out, color coding it is sniper chow. hence the reason why our own military ranks insignias in the US army are all a small patch in the center of our chest and the marines pin their ranks on their collars. we also don't salute in a combat zone either...because of snipers. we all wear the same uniforms in the military as well.
because of how we dress and act in a combat zone, a sniper looking around to knock off an officer in afghanistan won't be able to tell who is who unless he got close enough to read our insignias, thus exposing himself.
Contrasting The Void Of course, all a sniper has to do is watch long enough to see who is giving all the orders. I guess you can find ways to hide that, much more difficult though. You can always figure out who is in charge.
it's not just officers that give orders
That the colors stand for units instead of ranks was not just a Phase II thing.
In fact, colors for ranks were only used at the beginning of the war but that system got changed very fast during Phase I.
As you can see in The Clone Wars, Captain Rex already wears the 501st blue instead of red despite beeing a Phase I Captain.
STORMTROOPER
Legion-9,813 units: 4 regiments (9,812 units: 8,192 troopers and 1,620 officers) led by a High Colonel. The largest defined level of organization within the Stormtrooper Corps., it is the approximate equivalent to an Imperial Army battlegroup. Depending on the specific size of the squads and legions composing it, a legion can even reach as high as 14,826 units, composed of 12800 stormtroopers and 2025 officers. The legions mere deployment and parading also act as a form of psychological warfare, being adept at manipulating the psychology of dominance while shielded in the eerie anonymity of their armor.
Regiment-2,453 units: 4 battalions (2,452 units: 2,048 troopers and 404 officers) led by a Lieutenant Colonel. A Stormtrooper regiment is considered sufficient enough to seize a Class A planetary starport. Depending on the size of the scouts and platoons, it may reach as high as 3,701 units, composed of 3,200 troopers and 505 officers.
Battalion-613 units: 4 companies (612 units: 512 troopers and 100 officers) led by a major. A Battalion is very likely to incorporate many types of specialized stormtrooper units, including scout troopers and incinerator stormtroopers. Depending on the amount of squad and platoon manpower, the units may reach as high as 926 units; specifically 800 troopers and 125 officers.
Company-153 units: 4 platoons (152 units: 128 troopers and 24 officers) led by a captain. Depending on the size of the platoons, it may reach as many as 231 units, specifically 200 troopers and 30 officers.
Platoon-38 units: 4 squads (36 units: 32 troopers and 4 officers) led by a lieutenantand a sergeant major. A platoon is variable in size, similar to a squad, with some platoons even reaching up to 5 squads, and by extension, 57 units: 50 troopers and 5 officers.
Squad-9 units: 8 troopers, including a corporal, led by a sergeant. It is the smallest stormtrooper unit typically deployed into a threat situation. Can also include up to 10 troopers.
So the short answer would be that the writers of the expanded universe could not agree on the meaning assigned to shoulder pauldrons.
Medics? I didn't know Stormtroopers ever got injured. I thought it was one hit and they died.
Look up "Injured Stormtrooper Parody" here on RUclips. It's hilarious.
The armor disperses the heat, so they'd only get injured or unconscious- not killed.
+FORMINCRAFTIA Well, there definitely would still be kill shots. I agree though that in the Expanded Universe Stormtroopers would be injured or killed at a realistic ratio, but in the movies, they all seemed to drop dead at one shot.
gpgpgpgp1000 They were probably all knocked out, besides, I doubt that Luke nor anyone else was really used any high-quality weapons. Stormtroopers were pretty much guaranteed to surrvive any blast minus a armor piercing slug or a explosive.
+FORMINCRAFTIA I don't know where you are getting this info. Han's blaster is widely reported to be illegally modified and is more powerful than most DL-44s. Princess Leia and Luke killed most of their Stormtrooper victims with E-11s which they took FROM DEAD STORMTROOPERS! Leia and Luke were using the exact same guns the Stormtroopers used.
Besides, a hit to the chest is not going to "knock you out." A non-penetrating head shot might, but one to the chest would not knock you unconscious.
gpgpgpgp1000 Knocked out actually. And the armor info I got from tbe same channel that made this video- minus those hit by explosions and lightsabers, storm troopers are only knocked out when shot due to how their blasters disperse the heat. This is also why you never see a hole form in their armor- it didn't get burned through TO kill them.
the colors of phase 2 is for legions
+Brendan Gallagher Thanks for the comment!
+Brendan Gallagher it's for unit affiliation, so not just for legions, but battalions and other unit sizes too
I mean if you see the 501st legion they are all blue, same for the 212nd they are all yellow
Brendan Gallagher yeah unit affiliation. men in the 501st legion are blue. men in 212th attack battallion are yellow. men in 41st elite corps. are green. 327th star corps are yellow-green. etc
+Number1Irishlad Men in the 212th have ORANGE* markings on their armors, the 41st troopers had GREY markings on their armors (There's just one company within the 41st that has green markings on their armors (Look up for the "Green Company", I believe this company also had camo markings on their armor and were the ones who founght in Kashyyk, since Commander Gree was in charge of that company )) and the 32th Star Corps have DARK YELLOW- YELLOW markings. The 442nd Siege Battalion are the ones that have the GREEN markings.
Seems pretty unorganized if you'd ask me...
The Resolute Hermit The stormtrooper ranks part was pretty unorganized.
Yeah, they were for the style points
I gave you your 66th like ;)
I always had a good understanding of the ranking system, nice work.
StrikerFX47 Thanks for the comment!
That's all too confusing.
True
He posted another video just about stormtroopers you might under stand that (sorry for the late comment
It must get confusing even for the Soldiers themselves. It is almost as if different units have different standards rather than the standards just changing constantly.
their helmets would scan the armor and give sufficient information
@@dimitris2936 What happens when their equipment is compromised?
@@Amadeus8484 that is a good question, they probably would have had to done some exam on all the ranks.
1:37 that quality tho
I respectfully disagree, combining what I've seen in the original trilogy and books with new Disney Canon like force awakens and the latest battlefront and US Army rank structure, here is how I gather it.
Red - commander (field grade)
Orange - officer (lieutenants and junior commanders)company grade ranks
white - NCOs (sergeants)
Grey - corporal (Jr NCO)
Black - Enlisted (private first class your E2s E3s)
none - junior enlisted
at her colors seem to be non Canon and seen little. mainly other video games n such sometimes designating troopers skill or weapon field.
Ryan Emerich I think you nailed it. thank you
Ryan Emerich no everything is about the us army
Well, for one thing, separating "enlisted" and "Sergeant" makes no sense because sergeant IS an enlisted rank. It also puts Sandtroopers with white pauldrons above the ones with orange ones. But in the film, it is clearly the one in orange giving the orders. And with all these variations and customizations, the simple truth is there is no real ryme or reason to Star Wars ranks, unfortunately. The only one that seems to have been thought out, was the four colors in Attack of the Clones. They seem to have had the same lack of foresight when the wardrobe dept made the rebel and imperial officers uniform insignias. There are just too many inconsistencies.
Steverino combining what I've seen in the original trilogy and books with new Disney Canon like force awakens and the latest battlefront, here is how I gather it.
Red - commander
Orange - officer (lieutenants and captains)
white - NCOs (sergeants)
Grey - corporal (Jr NCO)
Black - Enlisted (private first class your E2s E3s)
none - junior enlisted
Totally agree mate.
This is the canon pauldron rank for Imperials, in ascending order:
- Black: Corporal (commands a lesser squad or sub-squad, 4 Stormtroopers)
- White: Sergeant (commands a greater squad, 8 Stormtroopers)
- Orange: Captain (commands a company of 144 Stormtroopers)
- Red: Commander (commands an entire ship's Stormtroopers)
I don't know why but i've always liked the look of the stormtrooper scout armor
+Connected_Runner Yea, it looks really cool!
+Connected_Runner it would be fun to be a scout to operate in the forest of Endor and ride a speeder bike all day
+the deep web hell no! not with those vicious ewoks! they would be you with rocks, eat your intestines and steal your speeder bike!
If black means enlisted, wouldn't all stormtroopers have one?
one would think so... I had the same impression
Black is Corporal. It's a sort of lesser Squad Leader rank, just below Sergeant (white pauldron).
2:03 finaly the empire has got the MG 42
best gun every even in a galaxy far, far away
Wdym
THANK YOU. THIS WAS SOMETHING I WANTED TO KNOW FOR YEARS
You're very welcome!
+Fact Free can you do how powerful was the rebels
Treeckogaming18 Sure! Thanks for the suggestion.
Very interesting, thanks for the info. Now I can finally get priorities in Jedi Academy right. :)
+Ivo Robotnik Thanks for the comment!
Thank you for the video! :)
So basically, if it's not black or white then it means "Hey look at me I'm special"
Happy good Friday
so basically make up whatever you want
+Danny Dingo All information used in the videos is from officially published star wars movies, shows, books, comics, and video games.
+Fact Free comics are not official lore therefor not valid.
+Michael
Read the first frame of the video. He clearly states he's dealing with non-canon sources
Jealous,You are.
+CrASH Yoda, you are. Lol
Question: do pauldrons that are not worn by Senate Commando's offer any extra protection, or are they purely for other purposes that were already described?
Blaster fire goes right through em
I'm not sure if this helps but in Star Wars Rebels a stormtrooper wearing a white pauldron is referred to as commander...
And that is totally incorrect. Privates had no pauldron, grey was corporal, black was sergeant, white was staff sergeant, and orange was for officers.
*How Stormtrooper Ranks Should Be*
Orange: Commander Rank
Red: Captain Rank
Yellow: Lieutenant Rank
Green: Sergeant Rank
White: Warrior Rank
None: Common Rank
Black: Training Rank
Edit: See how easy that was Palpatine, I don't even like you, but I'm helping you out here!!!
Good lord more confusing than a rubrics cube. Why cant they just keep using one systme instead of transitioning to a new one every couple of years
I assumed Pauldron a were for everyone above NCO (Sergeant+)
So it would’ve been:
Black- Sergeant or Colonel
White- Lieutenant
Red- Captain
Orange- Commander
They changed it now. The new one is
None: Enlisted
Black: Sergeant (or squad leader)
White: Lieutenant
Orange: Captain
Red: Commander
Almost all of the sandtroopers in the movies wore black and orange though. Since disney took over, everything has gone to shit. But thats the way its suppose to be.
Hopefully Battlefront 2 will clear this stuff up and add respective colors for your rank in the game.
Cody L Fail
Thank you for responding to my comment and using my idea :)
George HendrySmith You're welcome!
This is good for people trying to organize their Lego imperial armies.
Your voice is great 👍
You and Star Wars are gonna Work together?! Yeaaaaahhhh!
Possibly.
Stormtrooper 1: Commander, the enemy fle-
Stormtrooper 2: Oh i'm not a commander I just use an Imperial repeater rifle..
Stormtrooper 1: For fuck sake this has been the 5th time today, WHERE IS THE COMMANDERRRRR??
strange how nun of the storm troops cant hit a target unless the targets were walls but clones can just have one shot and get six droids
Cough cough tantive IV cough cough
Vulcan AMV Look at anything outside of the films and they're all decent soldiers
Im a SnowTrooper with gray pauldrons
Degly Spiderfang Thanks for the comment.
No problamo
who cares
This is all too confusing and needs to be simplified to simple ranks or roles, not both.
For ranks you can do:
Nothing = Enlisted
White = Sergeant
Green = Corporal
Blue = Specialist
Orange = Captain
Red = Commander
For roles you can do
Red = Shocktrooper
Orange = Squad Leader
Green = Engineer
Blue = Sniper
White = Assault
For the Senate Commandos, those aren't pauldrons. Those are epaulets.
Love the armor & color coding. Gives it more character
Wait. You have: leader, commander & captain. WHO THE FUCK LEADS & IS THE BOSS OF THE TEAM?
Captains lead Companies, whereas Commanders have four separate ranks for Battalion, Regiment, Legion and Corps. At least, that's how it is for the clones.
Stormtrooper Medics aka Stormsurgeons had bronze pauldron's o7
here is my take orange platoon leader/shock trooper white sergant blue sniper red medic yelow stormrifle
cool! correct me if i'm wrong but doesn't the imperial ranking system go like this: there's corporals, privates and servants that ware stormtrooper armour, lieutenants wore black body its (or something like that) and anything higher wore a grey imperial officer's outfit.
*Star Wars Minute*
dude it would be awesome if u put star wars sou dtracks in the backround
Mr. Sparkledog no fuc u
Mr. Sparkledog A lot of the star wars music is very vocal, which would be distracting. Also I don't want to risk any copyright strikes.
Fact Free what vocals? There are no vocals
3089280288 Many of the soundtracks, mostly the prequels ones, have a choir, which can be a bit distracting imo. Anyway, fear of copyright alone is enough for me to not want to use them.
When a rebel shots the stormtroopers pauldron. Stormtrooper be like "I can't take my rank"
thanks for the vid
Can you do a video about the upcoming Star Wars The Force Awakens? Could be pointing out things in the trailer, or giving a brief discussion of what happened before, pretty much the expanded universe during the previous episodes?
Yeah totally. We might do that with the next Star Wars trailer.
+Fact Free cool, I think it's really worth looking into it.
+Fact Free can you do a video with the imperial specializations?
Mihai Mitza Sure!
+Fact Free where is green??
orange is Commander and Red is Captain //Shadow troopers are the highest i think
Other way, orange is Captain, red is Commander.
can you make a vid on all the clone/storm-trooper snipers seen in the star wars universe
Great job narrating dude, keep it up, that other guy is terrible
can u make a video of the best clone troopers or cts
Orange is stormtrooper commander white is stormtrooper sergeant black is regular sandtrooper
I haven't heard it for 10 years
Sharon Sanqui Haven't heard what for 10 years?
Fact Free lol ya
The paulderons
is magma trooper an expertise, yaknow, working near 2000 degree lava
Turn captions on at 1:23.
I think the Empire needs to get all their $%^& together Uniforms, a traditional rank, & branch of service.
This video, kinda needs an update due to Thrawn's Stormtroopers, have a special Pauldrons.
I would probably would be a clone with a blue one
Just like Starfleet uniform colour.
So orange means Captain, Commander.... No wait, for Stormtrooper it means Captain and ......
(Already forgot) Fuck!
I built my own lego pauldron using paper
I always thought that pauldrons had a significance.
That or it looked cool
nice video how do u make those patrons that u showed in the video
Fives in an arc trooper not a commander
1:33 isnt a sergeant (idk if i spell that right) a squad leader?
Sunstorm450 white is actually Sargent. Orange is squad leader
Btw I meant to say in legends and I think it's the same in canon too
Black pauldron = Corporal, leader of a half-squad or small squad of 4 troopers, assistant to a Sergeant. White pauldron = Sergeant, leader of a full squad of 8 troopers. Orange pauldron = Captain, leader of a company of 164 troopers (20 squads + 4 specialists).
They need to do something with the color of cammander. I mean, which one is it? Red or Orange, gunner or something random!!!?
You sound like you're drunk. Is it just me?
0:38 captain Bacara
+MG16ncpGB grant Sorry I meant Bacars armour XD
+MG16ncpGB grant Sorry I meant Bacars armour XD
Nice.
how powerful was the infinite empire
this is what happens when a bunch of civilians try to create a military standard.
What does a green paultron mean to the imperial troops?
Well, for me, I don't think any Stormtroopers would be officers. They are the expendable grunts of the Empire. I see them as all enlisted ranks. So, when I set up the platoon display that I am currently collecting the new 5poa trooper figures for, I am going to have four squads of six troops in the formation. The trooper at the far left of each squad (from the observers viewpoint) will have a black pauldron as the squad leader and the army equivalent of a corporal. And then, front and center of the platoon will be a trooper with an orange pauldron as the platoon leader and the army equivalent of a Sargeant. The rest will be regular troopers sans pauldron. (I will have no white pauldrons in the platoon, but perhaps they are PFC's or cavalry troops or something.)
Ok.......First up. A Stormtrooper squad consists a Sergeant (Squad Leader), Corporal (Assistant squad leader) and seven Troopers. I tend to agree with some of what Ryan Emerich had to say on this one. However...
Red - COMD (LT, CAPT, MAJ, LTCOL) Platoon up to Regiment command.
Orange - SNCO E7, E8, E9
White - JNCO Sergeants E5, E6 (Squad Leaders)
Grey - JNCO Corporal E4 (Assistant Squad Leaders)
Black - Trooper (E2, E3)
I'm just going by my army experience. My platoon consisted of four squads. The Platoon Sergeant was, of course, in charge of the whole platoon, and each squad in the platoon had one corporal in charge of that squad.
Steverino I was in the Australian Army. That’s how a basic platoon structure was also for us. However, it looks like the Stormtrooper Corps is structured more like US marine corps.
We had four Platoons in our Company. 1st and 2nd Platoon were under the command of a Lieutenant and 3rd and 4th platoon were under the command of another Lieutenant. (those two would be represented in Star Wars by the Imperial officers that you see wearing black uniforms.) The whole Company (of four Platoons) was under the command of a Captain (the company commander.) This would be represented in Star Wars by an Imperial officer in a grayish green uniform.
Foxhound -- good stuff! Black was Corporal, though. Gray pauldron isn't canon.
You know in real life commander is a lower rank than captain
Only in the navy. The Grand Army was based off of Napoleon's Grand Armee', where Commandants were highly ranked.
why the fuck is there a green commander bacara at 0:36?
Ikr
Fives was not a commander he was a arc all arc had 2
So what does a black pauldron mean for Death Troopers
This was interesting
Wait so would enlisted (back pauldron) mean they they were new recruits or that they were on some kind of wait list to be a Sargent or commander?
Black pauldron = Corporal, leader of a half-squad or small squad of 4 troopers, assistant to a Sergeant. White pauldron = Sergeant, leader of a full squad of 8 troopers. Orange pauldron = Captain, leader of a company of 164 troopers (20 squads + 4 specialists).
Do you accept the new "canon" format or prefer the "Legends" approach to star wars only?
Emerald Pride I do both. At the moment, there isn't much to go off of from just official canon sources, as there haven't been that many books or comics made yet, to where making a detailed video based only on official canon material would be difficult or underwhelming. The intro specifies whether or not information is from both official canon and legends or just official canon. Also only official canon videos will also have an "OCO" symbol on the thumbnail.
Ok cool, thanks!
what about the dewback riders
one question is star wars the frce unleashed canon? or legends?
I don't get it. Why is red a captain and blue a lieutenant when lieutenant Thire has red and captain Rex has blue?
Perhaps cuz Rex is 501st and Thire is shock troopers (don't know official name)
Phase 1 clones had colored stripes to show rank -- green = Sergeant, blue = Lieutenant, red = Captain.
Phase 2 clones used colored markings to indicate legion affiliation. Thire was part of the 65th Coruscant Guard, they all wore armor with red markings. Rex was part of the 501st, they all wore armor with blue markings.
The colour-based rank system used by the Grand Army during the Battle of Geonosis was rendered obsolete during the early Clone Wars. By the time of the Clone Wars TV series, colour-based ranks were abandoned and colours were then used to indicate units. Captain Rex wore blue due to his place within the 501st Legion, whereas Thire wore red due to his position within the Coruscant Guard.
Thx
1:58 what is that stormtrooper type ? PLS HELP
nice
Thanks for the comment.
Clone troopers look so much more bad ass than stormtroopers. Like seriously, its usually the bad guys who look cooler
Yeah, I agree ;)
+Gabriel Medeiroz plus there is almost no customization for stormtroopers, no kamas, doublesided pauldrons, rangefinders, macrobinos, and no individual armor colors
Actually Stormtrooper snipers had microbinoculars attached to their helmets and had a ammo belt around their armor
Is this video in canon? Plz answer
00:35 name of dat clone commando?
Thire, previously a lieutenant, later became a commander. Belonged to the Coruscant Guard, Diplomatic Escort Group, and shock troopers.
The why commander cody doesnt wear Pauldron?
Because clone officers could choose whether or not to wear pauldrons.
In Lego Star Wars he did lmao
Some of these storm troopers look like they were using a blaster design that looks like an MG-34 or an MG-42 don't know which one I think it's the MG-42.
Gahlok12 In the star wars universe they are called DLT-19 heavy blaster rifles.
Fact Free I know but I was pointing what they look like.
+Gahlok12 All of the blasters in the first 3 movies were based on real guns.
The E-11(stormtrooper blaster) and the DH-17(rebel pistol from episode 4) was made from working British Sterlings. The weapon can still fire bullets.
The DLT-19 was basically a painted MG-34 with rails.
Han Solo's blaster, the DL-44, was made from a C96 Mauser.
The A280(rebel rifle used in Episode 5) was based on an AR-15 in an attempt to replicate the A295 that was made from an STG-44.
Samuraiedge2 Yeah but an AR-15 has nothing in common with the STG-44
Gahlok12
I did say it was an attempt.
ummm..... Every single clone/storm trooper wears a pauldron.... A pauldron is just a piece of armour that covers the shoulder xD
No.
+Nick Tait Then wouldn't every trooper wear it? And have 2?
starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Pauldron
What's the difference between a sniper and rifleman?
A rifleman uses a blaster rifle, a sniper uses a sniper blaster rifle. Rifles go medium range, and are less accurate at long range. Snipers tend to have a slower rate of fire, but work very well at long range.
Godsdj it's not called a sniper blaster rifle, it's called a targeting rifle.
A little confusing.
New Version?
What does sergeant mean?
And the Marvel History ?
A Marvel video will be posted in about a week and a half. Sorry for postponing them.
Can someone please tell me why the clones anakin lead into the temple were blue? Was it because they were 501st
Danyaal Mehmood Yes, that was the 501st legion you see in the 3rd movie being led into the Jedi temple.
+Fact Free Thanks keep up the good work.
I thought this video sounded familiar...starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Pauldron/Legends
Fact Free is a good name for this since it is indeed free of facts. This is all wrong.
In what ways?
In every way.
John Wick explain
how?
Tab Biggs his biggest fuck up was him saying the stormtrooper ranks... white means corporal, black means sergeant and orange means lieutenant or stormtrooper officer
What about the clone Kama
+Christian Marquez Thanks for the suggestion!
+Fact Free no problem
it's pronounced "bomb-ba-deer"
