The Republic Liberation Army, abbreviated RLA and sometimes referred to incorrectly as the Republic Army, was a unit of former Grand Army of the Republic and Republic Navy personnel that served the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. It was formed after the defection of General Alix Balan's 903rd Star Corps in the first year of the conflict. Over the course of the war, the RLA also recruited other members, mainly clone troopers from the Republic.

| - The Republic Liberation Army, abbreviated RLA and sometimes referred to incorrectly as the Republic Army, was a unit of former Grand Army of the Republic and Republic Navy personnel that served the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. It was formed after the defection of General Alix Balan's 903rd Star Corps in the first year of the conflict. Over the course of the war, the RLA also recruited other members, mainly clone troopers from the Republic. Some bounty hunters and mercenaries were also employed, and occasionally the RLA conscripted from populations of Separatist-controlled planets, with the CIS command's permission. The bulk of their force, however, consisted of former Republic soldiers and clone troopers, as well as some Navy personnel. It was made up of several infantry divisions, a few armored divisions, and a fairly small starfighter corps. Under command of General Balan, they fought against Republic forces during the Clone Wars. Count Dooku liked the idea, using the organization as a psychological factor against the Republic. He knew many Republic personnel did not like fighting their former comrades. However, the Separatist Council did not like the idea very much, not trusting the RLA, despite it's successes. The reaction of other Separatist generals and admirals varied, though many of them did not trust the RLA either. As a result, the RLA often carried out operations independently of other units or was assigned to secondary roles by officers, such as guarding supply lines and helping built outposts. However, units of the RLA did manage to score several successes during the conflict. Under General Ballan, they fought on fronts such as the Battle of Velex, Battle of Ushmin, and Battle of Yukka.
