"From 'A Tolkienist's Perspective Blog' : a two part article part 1 part 2 about the military structure in Mordor. There is a hierarchy chart if you want a summary.

Was the rapid collapse of the military following the destruction of the ring indicative of the fragility of this structure , and its susceptibility to a decapitation strike ? Would a flatter hierarchy or something similar to the Imperial Military or Starfleet have been more resilient?"

    We only ever 'see' the crapy, volcanic-fortress parts of Mordor. Tolkien was always clear (speaking through Aragorn or Faramir, IIRC) about the vast slave farms of southern Mordor, around Lake Nurn.
