2nd Platoon was one of four clone trooper platoons that served in the Grand Army of the Republic's Bacta Company during the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems.[1]
Serving under the joint command of clone trooper lieutenant Barr,[1] and a clone sergeant major,[2] 2nd Platoon was comprised of thirty-two clone troopers and four clone trooper medics. The platoon had four squads under its command, including Talon Squad, a squad of nine troopers led by clone trooper sergeant Green.[1]

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 The Essential Guide to Warfare establishes that a platoon within the Grand Army of the Republic had a clone trooper sergeant major who acted as the platoon's second-in-command. Since 2nd Platoon is a platoon within the Grand Army of the Republic, it must have a sergeant major.
