I haven't seen many suggestions yet were Doug was part of a formal military force. As you have said, Doug is a super hero who believes he is a soldier.
I'd like to suggest Sakura Taisen. It's set in the Taisho Roman (1920's) Japan. You have a military group of 6 women and 1 girl (who has a metagift), tasked to defend Tokyo from demonic beings. And led by 1 naval officer (ensign at the beginning) who is a man. The head of the organization is a lieutenant general. Their civilian cover is a theatrical group. Their theater is their base of operations. And they use steam-powered mecha called "kobous" in the course of their sorties.
Supposedly only women had been found to have the ability to "harness" the spirit crystal that powers the kobous. Ensign Ogami (the leader) being the rare exception. Be interesting if Doug can do the same.
The anime started as a game in Japan and has gone thru 5 editions so far. ADV released the TV series and the OAV's. I do believe the movie was released last year.
For those interested:

The author has some nice stats on the characters.
