Best Units besides ones already listed.
he U.S. Army's 442d Regimental Combat Team The Japanese American unit that was the most decorated unit that size ever in the US Army....even thouhgh most of their family members were in "relocation" camps.
The Japanese fleet that defeated the Russians at Tsushima straits during the Russo-Japanese War.
Vietnamese forces that defeated the French at Dien Bien Phu....carried artillity in parts and then assembled them above the French positions.
Shaka Zulu and his army.
Admiral Sun-Shin Yi and his navy....defeated the Japanese navy sent by the Hideyoshi with his turtleboats, the first ironclad ships in the 16th century. 1st battle with a small fleet defeted over 200 Japanese ships. On the 2nd battle with just 12 ships he defeated a Japanese fleet of 133. A year later he struck a Japanese fleet of over 500 ships and sunk over half. The Japanese lost over twice the number of sailors than the Spanish during the Invasion of the Spanish Armada just 10 yrs earlier.
Oda Nobunaga....Det the faramework for unification of Japan
Cao Cao...founder of the kingdom of Wei during China's 3 kingdom period.
Worst military blunders
....The British loss of Singapore to a smaller
Japanese force in Johar Bahru. British thinking that the Malaya jungle was impenetrable had all their big guns pointed stationary to the sea only.
Side note....the US military does not consider Somalia as a blunder. US army and USMC went in there for a mission and it was accomplished. Often the news and movies concentrate on the negative aspects. Just because Somalia's mission wasn't as easy as Desert Storm doesn't make it a blunder or a loss.
