I personally think, Caesar's Legion, down to one fact and one fact only, raw physical skill and determination to fight and die for there glorious leader, even if he is a genocidal maniac who kills anyone in his way.

The Courier after the installation of Yes Man and the creation of the Securitron Mk II army. :) User:CoD addict

Brotherhood of Steel because of how everyone in New Vegas, even Caesar, do not want to fight them, but with lack in numbers, they make up with in fierce technology, also known as Power Armor, Anon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.20.31.65 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~ !

The Boomers have the best military by far. They are probably up with the BoS in weapon terms and they have artillery and even a bomber if you complete Volare! In almost every ending of the game they end up surving unless the Courier wipes them out. The only other instance I can think of is that Legate Lanius will attack them and suffer heavy loses if Caeser ia killed. If they invaded the NCR they would overrun Camp McCaran, and Hoover Dam and push farther on. They would only be stopped after more NCR troops arrived from California and even then they would have a chance. Their only disadvantage is not much combat experience, but after a few battles they would be unstopable. User:Coolkid9753 22:00, 3/17/2011

yes the boomers have the weaponry, the BoS have the advanced technology but strength is in numbers as expressed by the BoS having to withdraw from Helios one, the boomers could take over part of the mojave but would be unable to hold their ground as they have insufficient numbers to keep their lines secured, the only reason they haven't been destroyed is because they are able to defend their small area with powerful weaponry.

it really depends on what factors you are rating the militaries of the differant factions, the ncr have skill and numbers, caesers legion have greater numbers and determination along with moderate skill. house/yes man have large robot armies with advanced weaponry but are only capable of holding a certain distance from new vegas, the boomers have high powered weaponry but small numbers, the BoS have highly advanced weaponry and skill but small numbers.

really the best bet would be the NCR as they are just capable of defeating caesers legion but quite frankly they would be so weakened that they wouldn't be able to survive in the mojave if another enemy such as the BoS were to reemerge after the battle of hoover dam. --Mgriller 04:02, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

I believe House or Yes Man would only after they get the upgrade from the platinum chip without the upgrade I would have to say NCR-Boone123 04:07, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

Er depends

IF you put a legionary and a NCR trooper in a arena with machetes its easy to see who wins. If you put a brotherhood paladin and a NCR trooper in a firing range its easy to figure out which one shoots better. and if you subject a Securitron and a NCR trooper to a few bullets its easy to see which one will have better odds of surviving. All and all though NCR probably is the best all rounder. Legion with their sheer numbers and determination could overrun most positions, but would have a hard time defending a large camp. BoS might be deadly but but well if one of them does get killed its the end of the world considering how few of them there apparently are

Well it all depends on what you mean. Are we talking who has the besst military overall, or who has the best military currently IN New Vegas. The NCR has the best military overall, but their military actaully stationed in New Vegas is hurting. They're spread too thin, leavin gaps in thier line. Its proven they can be beaten (Camp Searchlight, Nelson, Nipton, Ranger Station Charlie). Also while the BoS actually IN New Vegas is in pretty bad shape, but what about the BoS back west, the Capitol BoS, and they might not be considered BoS, but the Midwestern BoS. Also the Legion has got all these men in Arizona. So if its just overall military, the NCR but military IN New Vegas, they all suck so I'm going with the Boomers or the Legion. --Coolkid9753 04:39, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Why do we need militaries at all. I think the courier is the only one that actually matters. The Legion, the NCR, BoS, Mr.House, they all live or die by the courier's hand. Every time I play the game the faction I side with wins. So they're all about equal until the courier starts picking sides. After chuck norris left for the moon after the war of 2077 he embrewed the power of his one almighty body into instamash and old lady palmer palmer can beat all the militaries at one time does this answer your question Fryingpan57 04:44, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Agreed about the courier. Who ever YOU decide will be the best. It's just a pity that you can't have anyone but your companions fighting for you in the game, or for you to atleast plan the battle, and position the BoS or Boomers where you want. I think it would have made it a little better to plan the battle of Hoover Dam, especially if you take out House for either NCR or the legion.173.107.116.37 10:14, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

I believe we're talking about IN New Vegas but if we're talking about the military outside of New Vegas too I believe the BoS is the best. Boone123 10:28, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Caesar's Legion. They are determined, hardened, brutal, and will kill anything if it means Caesar's goodness. They are trained in melee(mainly) and guns. None of them are cowardly, either. --TheConvictsSUCK 19:53, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

NCR by far. Before New Vegas has even begun, they have successfully fought and won wars with the Khans, Brotherhood, and the Legion at the same time, pushing the Legion back across the river and nearly wiping out the Brotherhood and Khans. Their army is bigger than the Legion's, their troops better supplied and trained, and while the Legion does have better devotion, this hardly matters when the NCR has the capability to produce enough weaponry to equip thousands of soldiers whereas the Legions entire weapon production capability seems to consist of about 8 guys making machetes.
