Lots of random organizations use "knights" or "warriors" or "soldiers" to describe themselves, but the Salvation Army and the Scouts are the ones who take it as far as everyone wearing uniforms and having ranks, IIRC

The Knights of Columbus have a color guard but I don't think they treat the whole organization like a pseudo-army with officers and soldiers
