The Breath of the Empire

The standing military branch of the Negresti armed forces is known as 'The Breath' after the terrible breath weapons of Dragons. Similar to the Arm, the leader of the military is called only 'The Breath'. Divisional structure in the Breath is further divided into Elemental groupings, like those of the elemental affinities of metallic and chromatic dragons.  Each division is led by a 'Maw' that can be referred to also by their division's element. While not official policy, leader of the Breath of the Empire is always Dragonborn.
Each elemental division is a different branch of the military structure:

Division of The Breath	Military Classification
The Flaming Breath	Infantry
The Frozen Breath	Cavalry
The Acid Breath	Siege weaponry and support
The Lightning Breath	Naval conflict
The Poison Breath	Intelligence and espionage

Each Breath has freedom to organize its personnel as it chooses.  Such as, the Flaming and Frozen Breaths adopting traditional structures while the Poison Breath operates under a loose organization to protect the identities of its agents. With the invention of gunpowder and Liveships, the Acid and Lightning Breaths have been partnering often as of late as military resources are directed to their areas.
In the shadowed alleys of the Empire, rumors are told of a secret "Shadow Breath" that carries out extra judicial killings and assassinations but, no evidence of their existence has been confirmed.
