As you are a film fan try watching the following:
* An Ungentlemanly Act (Falklands - possibly my favourite - very realistic and accurate)
* Tumbledown (Falklands again - very gritty)
* Falling Skies (Alien invasion - particularly the end of series two for civil-military relations but some very nice weapon handling drills throughout)
* Apocalypse Now (Vietnam - if nothing else for the insanity of it)
* Band of Brothers (WW2 although tactics have moved on)
* Black Hawk Down (Somalia - good idea of urban fighting)
* Bravo 20 (Gulf War - some of the best fire and movement on film)
* Tears of the Sun (Africa - useful for how a fire team acts in combat)
That should give a good starting point.
