Īt some point in the history of the Fel Empire, the Stormtrooper Corps was disbanded and the stormtroopers were redistributed into the ranks of the Imperial Army. Troopers were more than willing to fight when necessary though thirty troopers participated in an attack against a group of smugglers in the Whistler's Whirlpool Tapcafe on Trogan in 9 ABY. They also maintained Imperial military bases or served aboard fleet vessels as marines, and garrisoned pacified worlds. However, military duty for an Army trooper was relatively light: whereas the Stormtrooper Corps-which was separate from the Imperial Army-was employed for boarding actions and attacking enemy positions, regular army troopers were used to secure ground already taken. The most elite of the Army were Special Missions troopers. Such veteran troopers were a fairly significant threat even to SpecForce.
Those who managed to survive a few tours of duty, mostly career soldiers, were able to hone their skills to a greater degree and likewise possessed superior morale and confidence in their abilities. While capable of facing regular Rebel troopers in combat, they were easy prey for the Alliance's SpecForce. Troopers fresh out of training were reasonably professional soldiers, though lacking in experience and, among those who were conscripted, generally low morale. All manner of combat techniques were taught, from hand-to-hand fighting and blaster proficiency to grenade and heavy weapons training. Though survival in a variety of environments was standard, some drop camps specialized in certain exotic types as well. Physical fitness, equipment maintenance, team-building drills, and indoctrination were all part of training to become an Army trooper.
Those who passed their initial screening at their local Imperial Recruitment Office and the medical and intelligence assessments at a Training Center were shipped to one of the thousands of drop camps situated across the Empire for basic training. Imperial Army troopers were recruited from all across the Empire, though preferably from worlds which lacked any rebel sympathies.
