Republic Officer

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Captain Jan Dodonna, a Republic Officer who would later become an important leader for the Rebel Alliance.

Republic Officers were the men and women conscripted into the Grand Army of the Republic and served in a command capacity, both onboard capital ships and on the ground, directing both the Jedi Knights and the Clone Troopers under their command.

The Clone Wars was not the only time the Republic conscripted men and women into its standing army. This practice has gone back as far as the Old Sith Wars, when the Republic army fought against the Sith Lords Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma and during the subsequent Jedi Civil War, when many, including Admiral Forn Dodonna, fought against the army of Darth Malak, whose numbers included many of their former comrades, such as Saul Karath, a Sith Officer.

Following the end of the Clone Wars, those Republic Officers who were considered the brightest and most decorated of the conflict became officers of the Imperial Starfleet and Imperial Army, becoming the ones credited for many of the heroic acts performed during the war (most of which were actually performed by the Jedi).
