Where do you plan on recruiting from? I think anything is possible if you go about it correctly. One thing problem I see is a way for grunts to identify one another. Unless they are trained differently from every other army/gang/militia they will not be recognized from a ways away. There would need to be some universal code that didn't stand out and would never be accidentally said for identifying members. What if you are doing two different missions and wind up taking fire in the same building you need to identify friends right away.

I think you need to consider the basics. I like your plan, but you need to grow slow and learn fast. How do you plan to support this army of yours? Also, what is the ultimate point? Armys are usually built to take or protect. Drug lords have solders to protect their investment and take more for themselves. African Dictators have armys to take land, America has an army to protect it's interests. What is the goal of your army? When I think of civilian ran forces there is usual one point and that's money. Someone is doing something illegal and needs the support. Making enemies along the way that cause a need for an army.

Also, Medical isn't that hard. There are plenty of Med School drop outs, and men trained as nurses that would take the extra money, people with the training that would take your money.

Another thing is that if you are doing something illegal, or not, to make money you will need to organize that. Grab what you want is never a good way to run a company, and running a company is essentially what you are talking about. If I had a twenty man crew and we stole cars there would be a division of labor. There would be running crews with a driver, a grabber, and a gunman. There would be mechanic crews, there would be guards on rotation. Also, you need to consider supplies. How do you plan to outfit an army with uniforms (even if it is not "uniform" they need combat gear), ammo and weapons. Not to mention explosive chemicals, and other things. Food and water. Do you have plans for professional, well tested, explosives or will ducktape, AP, and pill bottles be how you arm a demolition soldier?

You need to micro manage. If I were you I would pose as someone that sees most of the groups. An accountant, a mechanic, someone that has a reason the grunts won't question to visit your investments. That way no one knows you are in charge and you get to see first hand that your making money and that you are properly represented in the field. It's an old trick. Have a good friend pose as the leader, you yourself pose as the bodyguard. That way no one knows you are the one calling the shots. It could work the same for big groups.
