The Grand Army of the Republic is a fictional army from the Star Wars saga, specifically Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith that laid the foundations of the Galactic Empire.
The Grand Army of the Republic, the successor of the pre-Ruusan Republic military was created by the cloners on Kamino, and comprised of two hundred thousand clone troopers and their war machines as of the start of the Clone Wars. After the initial engagements, a million more clone troopers were added to the ranks of the army. The earliest attempt to recreate the pre-Ruusan Republic military was the Katana fleet.
The creation of the army was ordered by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, though it was actually part of a plot concocted by Darth Sidious to craft an army for the Sith Lords. Though the clone troopers fought for the Galactic Republic under Jedi leadership during the Clone Wars, the army was turned against the loyalists and the Jedi when the Galactic Empire was formed at the war's end. Chancellor/Emperor Palpatine wielded executive control over the army, and transformed it into the Imperial Army, Stormtrooper Corps, and Navy of his Galactic Empire.
