The US Army. Given the history, you might expect it to based on either the French or British model, but no, they mostly took notes from Prussia.

You might also think it's a very top-down authoritarian model for a military, but also no. That notion mostly comes from the legacy of Nazis. Both before and after, the German model of the Army is one of the least top-down authoritarian militaries.
