This idea, the 'universal warrior' is nonsense. Heck, the Macedonian phalangite wouldn't have fit in a Roman legion (Plb. 18.28ff) and vice versa. A Spartan wouldn't have been properly drilled to fight in either! War is not constant, and neither are combatants.https://twitter.com/SPressfield/status/1346185128742014976 …

Warriors do not abide by a structure, is that what it essentially boils down to?

Yes, though perhaps I'd put it more that what makes a soldier different from a warrior is the subordination of the individual to the unit, of the unit to the state. A warrior fights on their own for their own reasons. A soldier fights as part of a unit in service to the polity.
