Military

Humanity's defense against Titans is a full-time, professional army trained to deal with Titans. The military is divided into three divisions: the Survey Corps, which explores outside human territory to hostile areas in a bid for expansion; the Garrison, which patrols and maintains the Walls, keeping Titans out and acting as the first to engage the Titans if the gate is destroyed; and the Military Police, the top-ranking soldiers who serve as the personal guards for the king and maintain order within the Walls.

Structure
Humanity's defense against Titans is a full-time, professional army trained to deal with Titans. The military is divided into three divisions that each have their own leaders but are all subordinate to Darius Zackly, the Commander in Chief of all three.

The Survey Corps: The Survey Corps are the elite of the elite. They are tasked with attempting to reclaim territory that has been lost to the Titans. Despite being the most well trained there remains talk of shutting them down since they experience horrendous losses, and seemingly produce no results. The current commander is Hange Zoë.

The Garrison: The Garrison is responsible for patrolling and maintaining the wall; they are the largest of the three branches with 30 000 soldiers. The current commander is Dot Pixis

The Military Police: The Military Police are in charge of keeping order inside the walls and protecting the King. Due to their important function as guardians of the most powerful humans, only the top 10 trainees from a graduating class are permitted to join them. Despite recruiting from only the best, they are shown to be corrupt and often incompetent due to the nature of their work inside the walls, away from Titans. The current commander is Nile Dok

Qualities
Though the army is full time and has stood for over 100 years at the beginning, it's largely a joke. The Military Police are thought to be the worst as they are wanting to work inside the interior as protection from Titans. Under them is the Garrison, they are also thought to be lazy, irresponsible, and cowardly, though after the breach in Shinganshina, their tactics and personnel have achieved amazing improvements. The Survey Corps are the main Titan fighters and want to restore the land that once belonged to humanity.

Uniform & Equipment
All members of the Military, excluding the Training Corps Instructors, wear similar uniforms consisting of a short, light brown jacket with the badge of the squad on both shoulders, on the front left pocket and on the center of the back, a light-colored shirt, a dark brown sash around the waist covering the hips, white pants, and dark brown knee-high leather boots. The Training Corps Instructor Uniforms differs slightly from the other branches, including an olive-green trench coat replacing the jacket of the other factions. The Survey Corps members often wear a heavy, green, hip-length hooded cloak with the Wings of Freedom on the back, usually when conducting missions outside of human territory. Trainees have been observed to wear the cloaks, albeit without any symbols, when conducting marches in the rain.

The main equipment of the Military is the Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear, which is also their main weapon used in conjunction with two snap-off blades attached to the hand grips. However, the Military Police often use rifles since they mostly deal with people and rarely with Titans.
