Since the unveiling of Season 3, the Atlesian Military appears to be growing in its organizational patterns but there's almost nothing about them. So far they're essentially the only military faction thusfar unveiled to the public and are known to have strong troop concentrations in Vale and will definetly be taking a telling part in Season 3 if the intro cinematics are anything to go by.

However, they have essentially only two essential characters and no ranks that are easily discernable. In the cinematic there are over eight colored uniforms in addition two variations of their standard infantry. The ones depicted behind General Ironwood standing at attention wear crimson insignia and appear to carry larger scaled versions of their automatic rifles. Whereas in the "grand old charge" later in the cinematic you see almost all the ranks yet they all have the same short-stubbed assault carbine.

Being a military enthusiast, I was hoping there could be a cannon expansion to this area and of course actually naming the Academy Ironwood is head of, expanding the command hierarchy in addition to their mechs and weaponry, and of course, their artificial combat program in which Penny is a creation of.
