![]() The Jedi Knights were not supposed to serve as the Republic's army, but rather as peacekeepers who intervened in crises and helped prevent member worlds turning on one another because of ancient rivalries.

It's likely this wasn't always the case that the Republic will have once maintained competency over military matters, in the years it was at war with the Sith Empire, but that this had been deemed unnecessary after millennia of peace.
