They're just infantrymen. There are shocktroopers, but those are higher up the ladder than your average stormstrooper

The Stormtrooper Corps, while technically a division of the Imperial Army, is not actually "infantry". There are infantry divisions of the Imperial Army, of which Han Solo was part of in the Solo movie.

They're basically the Emperor's personal enforcers, and are trained to be fanatical servitors to his will. I believe they were meant to be equivalent to the German Nazi SS of World War II.
