Though a faithful commander who carried out Yoda's orders, Gree was ultimately loyal to the Republic. His thinking was, should anyone comment on his name after introduction, Gree would know that he was dealing with someone who shared his passion for alien cultures.ДЇor his knowledge, he and his 41st Elite Corps were often stationed on worlds with indigenous species. The Gree are an obscure alien species, little known in the Republic. Unit 1004 adopted the name Gree as a subtle nod to his intellectual pursuits. The ARC trooper identified as Alpha began personally training commanders with an eye towards independence and individuality. But around the time that 1004's unique attributes were discovered, the Kaminoans instituted a special clone commander training program. Ordinarily, such divergence would be considered an aberration and be flushed from the system. The automated clone education programs do provide each soldier with a base knowledge of many of the species that populate the Republic, but 1004 pursued knowledge beyond that with enough zeal that it drew the attention of the Kaminoan laboratory masters. Gree himself wore camouflaged armor to better blend into the verdant surroundings.ДЄs indicative of his developing individuality, Commander 1004 took it upon himself to become an authority on obscure alien cultures. He served under General Yoda, commanding troops that employed specialized equipment for combat in the jungle environment. Often, Cody would employ a rocket pack, leading his elite units through individual aerial maneuvers.Д¬ommander Gree, designation 1004, led the Elite Corps stationed on Kashyyyk during the Clone Wars.

He led the 212th Attack Battalion, and was comfortable with leading large units and commanding small attack teams both. But thanks to the efforts of individualistic clones like Alpha, units such as 2224 got to retain their proper names.Д¬ody's tour of duty included campaigns on Rendili, Koorivar, Cato Neimoidia, Maramere and Boz Pity. As the Kaminoans adapted to this unorthodox methodology, they allowed their clones to self-apply names, dangling such signs of individuality as a prize for merit.ДЄlthough self-naming had occurred on the field since the earliest days of the Clone Wars, the Kaminoans and the Republic did not officially recognize the practice the cloners, especially, considered the behavior deviant. Unlike standard Kaminoan educational protocols, this training regimen did not de-emphasize individuality and outside-the-manual thinking.

Unit 2224 was part of an advanced training program of clone commanders led by the ARC trooper identified as Alpha. This continued through to their mission to Utapau, to route out the entrenched Separatists forces commanded by General Grievous.Д¬ody was ultimately subservient to the orders of the Republic, and when Order 66 was enacted - branding Kenobi an enemy of the state - Cody willingly carried out the command to open fire on his former friend. Cody was often under the command of General Obi-Wan Kenobi, and served with him and Anakin Skywalker during a nearly disastrous campaign on Cato Neimoidia.Д¬ody developed a close and easygoing camaraderie with Kenobi, easily exchanging dry jokes with his Jedi General.

Clone Commander Cody, also known as unit 2224, was a loyal clone trooper serving the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars.
