The exception to this is armor, because the army was the only branch that had any. This is why the army wasn't seen much, they are usually guarding some base somewhere. The Stormtrooper Corps is much like the United States Marine Corps, serving mostly on ships and in the most important battles, much farther on the front lines than many infantryman see in the army. The Imperial Stormtrooper corps is part of the Imperial Army, but has its own chain of command and other differences to make many consider it its own branch. He was transferred into the Imperial Infantry, specifically the 244th Armored Division (Armored being that they fight with tanks and other land vehicles such as the AT-DT seen in the movie).
The Imperial Navy Troopers ordinarily serve on board ships and space stations and I wouldn't expect them to be regularly deployed as ground/planetary infantry, but it is plausible that Solo and his team are on board a ship that crashes and are forced to "dig in" to the local terrain.
Does Han wear a brown/gray uniform with an open-face helmet due to conditions on the planet he finds himself deployed to, or is he simply not a Stormtrooper to begin with (and thus, not likely to ever wear the white armor)?Ĭonsidering Han's initial attempt at pilot training (part of the Imperial Navy), it stands to reason that it might have been administratively and practically easier to reassign him as an Imperial Navy Trooper than to transfer him to the Stormtrooper Corps, but this doesn't seem to be mentioned in the film. In Solo: A Star Wars Story, Solo enlists in the Empire with a career goal of being a pilot, but he washes out of the required training and is reassigned to infantry work.ĭuring the period of Han's infantry service, Is he an Imperial Stormtrooper, or is he serving as some other type of infantry soldier? We know from the various movies that Stormtroopers typically wear the trademark white armor, though they (like most real life military forces) can and do wear different types of uniforms depending on the situation and climate.
