armed forces Explanation: This should work in the context. "Military discipline involves mental and bodily dispositions that must be followed in relation to the other members of the armed forces..." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2020-01-02 16:14:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/armed forces -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2020-01-02 16:16:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- NB: A corps would be smaller. "Armed forces", like "cuerpo bélico", refers to the entire war machine... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2020-01-02 16:17:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And there you go, "war machine" could also work if you want to take, for example, a more pacifist stance.

Combat unit Explanation: Military units should be combat units (Infantry, Cavalry, etc.) or Non -combatant ones (Medical corps, Judge Advocate General's Corps, etc. ). An Armored unit is one equiped with tanks or similar armored vehicles. "war corps" does not exist. Besides, take in account that Corps is a fix size unit (more or less three divisions) besides the plural of corp and in the context the size is not mentieoned so is better a general term as unit Example sentence(s):
