There's a few colors:

Blue and Red markings are the most common and appear to either be the desiginations of Military Police and generic infatrymen.

Yellow and Green which share the exact same pattern armour and weapons meaning they are probably division rankings unless they haven't thought of being more diverse in armour and weaponry.

Crimson which were shown behind General Ironwood in formation and appear to have less compact auto-rifles which are probably the elite guard.

Gold which are almost entirely hidden by other units but you can occasionally see their shoulders or head and are definetly NOT YELLOW.

Weapons wise, they lack a lot of diversity but their weapons are probably capable of using the different variations of dust to powerup their weapons. However, we know they use at least one variation of a sidearm, two primary rifles or assault weapons, and one variation of a melee weapon.

They have no ground portable heavy weapons or suppressive weapons. No support attachments such as underslungs or muzzle attachments. No grenades or heavy grade precision long range weapon systems. Yet they do have, accurate automated weapon systems, strong and vast airpower, multiple versions of mechanized and robotic infantry which appear to be independt acting and not slaved to a single controller or area, and artillery emplacements as seen in the Black trailer (technically more of a short ranged mortar or howitzer).

I doubt they will expand this much further as RWBY is not necessarily a heavily focused combat series for military factions BUT it would be nice to have it expanded or even ask the community for suggestions in changing the lore.
