I think 5 is a record! 🤣

Noted on what you're efforting for both backgrounds and experience use. I'll look at it- I'm pretty sure I have a copy of Elysium kicking around somewhere.
As far as actually converting a "gang" of allies into a "military force" you'll probably have to at some point switch your efforts towards it to like doing weapons drills/target practice and other things that are more like "military training", but right now I'd consider that you're laying the ground work, recruiting and building the team so to speak.
I'm planning to keep Allies and Military Force as seperate Backgrounds, even though there is overlap in-game. Allies being the couple of people Patrick founded this with... military force being the numbers.
As for Military Force...
o 15-person mob, generally unorganized and untrained: student rebels, street gang
oo 25-person team, generally with some combat training: police, crime family
I don't know that we'll ever go above two dots. It's not what I envision for Patrick.
