Some more renowned Second Life military groups are: The Ordo Imperialis; The Merczateers; The German Army; The Grand Federation of New Earth, and The Alliance Navy.

Battles and skirmishes between military groups is often regulated using mutual treaties created by officers of the groups. Combat is traditionally done with firearms, which are scripted to "kill" a Resident temporarily. However, the resident may again join the fighting soon after death. A victor of a combat is usually determined by which side outlasts their opponent. Vehicles are sometimes employed as offensive measures or troop transports. Second Life military groups are often accused of disruptive behavior, attacking residents and/or "griefing". Second Life news websites, such as the Second Life Hearald, regularly report the groups using physical, simulator-crashing devices to achieve "victory"[citation needed]. Though, the accusations often boil down to individual member's behaviors rather than that of a whole.
