I'd like to bring up a few issues I've seen, some extremely small, and others as things I just don't see as working out quite as intended. As a preface, I do very much like the change and I'm a big supporter of it, but since things are still in the works I figured I'd throw my thoughts in while it's possible that things can be modified and flexed around before things are all finalized for the overhaul and as a sort of aside, I have served time in the military and so a lot of this probably bothers me just a bit more than your average person in the same way someone might see something they know well being simplified, and none of this should really be taken as critical issues that demand complete change.
First of all, the rank structure is extremely abridged. I can understand why, after all things aren't going to be a real military, we're just RPing and all, however in terms of "enlisted" rank structure, you basically just have "soldier" and that's it, nothing else. I'd recommend throwing in at least like a Sergeant rank above just Soldier (and possibly renaming Soldier to something like Private but that's just me being nitpicky to be honest). As a much more minor aside, Major is below Colonel in real life ranks, but seems to be above in the list. I suppose it's really not that big a deal, since they're really just names, but it does bother me ever so slightly.
Secondly, and a slightly bigger issue in my opinion, is the idea that each "Officer" is going to be assigned their own "Corps". Terminology aside, I'm not sure how exactly that'd work out, since I highly doubt we'll have enough people of the Soldier/Lieutenant rank to make that feasible, and I imagine there'll be quite a lot of officers going around with empty Corps. IRL, military units larger than a platoon have more than a single officer in charge of them, and larger units consist of smaller ones in a sense, so it's not like each officer leads a bunch of enlisted personnel in a vacuum. It'd probably be easier just to assign people to someone a rank above them (skipping ranks if necessary) to help keep things filled out, rather than having everyone basically command NPCs all the time.
