[Star Wars] How often did Clones perform executions?

I just rewatched the Umbara arc of TCW, and looking at Fives and Jessie’s near execution, it looked like the Clones had it down to a process. This is Star Wars, where lethal injection technology is sure to exist, but they put them in front of a firing squad like it was rehearsed. Does Kamino have a lesson guide on how to execute prisoners? Namely their own brothers? 


And then when we go a season further when Ahsoka’s on trial, Tarkin says that if she’s found guilty he’ll be recommending that she face the highest punishment possible, including penalty of death. Would she be put in front of a Clone firing squad too? Or would Jocasta Nu come out of the library with that lightsaber rifle thing and cap her ass herself? 


I don’t doubt the Empire performed executions like this, but we’re talking about the Republic here. We’re executions this brutal really that common?

Odds are good that, along with other assorted drill and formation work, the cloners did include protocols on executions in the training for the Clones. The Republic wasn't exactly huge on executions, but this is a Republic on it's way to becoming the Empire, and having a large standing army trained and ready to gun down the enemies of the nation is a part of that downward slide. Aside from the usual suspects for a military execution, they'd also need to be ready to dispose of defective or unstable clones, as well as traitors to the war, with the definition of "traitor" creeping ever outward as the Chancellor gets closer and closer to being the Emperor. As well, there's the elephant in the room in the form of Order 66; the endgame for the Grand Army is *a massive series of near simultaneous blaster executions*, so having the procedure and practice drilled into all clones is in the Emperor's interests.

As the Grand Army of the Republic is the most potent policy tool at the Republic's disposal, most executions are probably being handled by clone troopers unless committed within the jurisdiction of worlds with alternate or no death penalty. In Ahsoka's case, as A) she is being tried on the Republic level and B) the Jedi have more or less washed their hands of her, the execution would likely be via clone, versus the Jedi coming and killing their own.
