A squad was the smallest military unit in the Grand Army of the Republic. The numbers of soldiers in a squad varied.

Though squads could have a varied group of clone troopers, there were specialist squads:
* Heavy Weapons Squads were infantry armed with heavy weapons, such as the two-man E-Web.
* Shaprshooter Squads were, as their name says, composed of soldiers who were better shots than the average infantryman. They were regarded as elite units, and individual troopers in these squads were cross-trained in different combat skills, and expected to be able to act more effectively on their own initiative than normal troops. 
* Engineering Squads were composed of combat-trained technicians and battle-hardened soldiers given additional technical skills. They were expected to be able to operate, repair or destroy any equipment they encountered on the battlefield, and to take on any opposition they might encounter while doing so.
* Repulsorlift Squads were the crews of repulsorlift vehicles, either troop transports or picket craft. Typically, a repulsorlift squad contained two vehicles, each crewed by a commander, driver, trooper mechanic and tech/sensor officer, although the sergeant's vehicle often had a second tech/sensor officer who operated a Dedicated Energy Receptor designed to pinpoint enemy communications on the battlefield. The vehicles of a heavy weapons repulsorlift squad carried additional armament, often designed to be dismounted and used by infantry.
* Artillery Sections were gunners, with one heavy or medium launcher or two light field pieces.
