I'm Helping a guy install a sub panel in his free standing garage. It will be a 30 amp service of 10ga running in 3/4" conduit 2' underground.

The panel will be a main breaker arrangement.

We need a ground rod, yes?

For the ground bond between the main panel and the sub panel may I use 12ga?

Assuming copper you still need to use 10 gauge for a 30 amp feeder.
Yes, you need a grounding system. Usually 2 ground rods spaced 6' apart to make everyone happy. If new garage that they installed an ufer ground you can use that instead.
