So, for most of those 2 films, there is no proper army of the Republic. I suppose they had police, private security and (obviously) the Jedi, but no actual army. The army is officially started at the end of Episode 2, even those the clones were being "bred" for a long time before that. But, if there were no soldiers, why did the Republic have a bunch of those massive destroyers? I can't remember the name, but the red and white ships. Wtf?

They did have an army and Tarkin was a part of it. It just wasn't that big.

Seriously? And Tarkin was around in the prequel trilogy? And if it was a small army, why did they have a substantial number of massive warships?

I'm not sure what ships you're talking about. The Republic "Star" Destroyers? Those didn't come into play till after the clones were acquired. As far as I remember.

They had more ships then active soldiers because they probably down sized the military personnel but kept the ships everything else from the last big war.

They could have had a decent sized fleet but very few ground troops.

Those are Venator-class Star Destroyers.

They expected future wars to be fought in space, not on the ground.
And they thought that they would discover if some group started to put together an army, and be able to stop them before they turned too big.
