The relentless battery of physical and mental training within such an accelerated lifetime could potentially drive a clone mad were it not for the highly structured and balanced development program instituted by the Kaminoans. Though care was taken to protect the clone psyche, the fully mature clone cannot be said to have a "normal" personality, as their identities are wholly shaped by military training and subservience to authority.

The Kaminoans are obsessed with order and control over variables, and carefully monitored the developing clones for any deviance in biochemistry. These statistical anomalies were smoothed over under the supervision of Kaminoan Chief Scientist Ko Sai through extra conditioning. The Kaminoans reconditioned an average of seven aberrant clones for every two hundred clones.

Mature clones resembled Jango Fett as he was in his 20s, with slight deviations that were a byproduct of accelerated growth in a sterile environment. Fett resided on Kamino, offering his martial expertise to advise in the training of his duplicates.

Clone trooper armor consists of 20 form-fitting plastoid-alloy composite plates sealed to a temperature-control body glove via magnatomic gription panels. Jango Fett's Mandalorian heritage influenced the design of the armor, as seen in the t-shaped visor plate. The Kaminoans aesthetic influence is also visible, in its stark coloration and detailing. As the Kaminoans are not fully versed in human ergonomics, the armor is uncomfortable to sit in, though future generations of the suit corrected this flaw. The clone trooper helmet includes a comlink and enhanced breath filter for combat in hostile environments.

Clone troopers refer to each other by their identification numbers only when in smaller groups. Under these close quarters conditions, they commonly refer to each other using only the last two digits of their ID number.

The unique clone trooper identification number is embedded in each clone's DNA. The clones themselves have no physical markings indicating their unique identities. A special scanner incorporated into the clone trooper helmet identifies the trooper and this info is displayed on a tiny LED viewscreen incorporated in the back of the helmet. The information displayed on the helmet can also be transmitted to a central location so that combat commanders can "track" a battle.

With the exact same genome copied thousands of times across a battlefield, the use of clone infantry has been very beneficial to combat medicine. Treatment for clones is much easier compared to individuals of other species. The clones are all the same genome, so their body parts are literally interchangeable -- there is no worry about rejection syndrome, and many complicated procedures can be extensively standardized.

The clone troopers that stormed the world of Geonosis during the first battle of the Clone Wars were fully supported by air and ground vehicles. Piloting the Republic attack gunships were specially trained clone trooper pilots. Their uniforms bore yellow markings and specialized helmets.

As the Clone Wars spread and the nature of combat became more specialized, the pilot ranks also grew. Clone starfighter pilots operated the ARC-170 and V-wing fighters that engaged Separatist forces in the depths of space or the skies of scattered worlds. They wore specialized equipment that aided in the piloting of their advanced craft.

During the Battle of Coruscant, Squad Seven -- led by Clone Commander Odd Ball -- was instrumental in holding off enemy forces and allowing the Jedi duo of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker infiltrate General Grievous' fleeing flagship.
