Oh, and I forgot "Sten" by Chris Bunch and Allan Cole. It's a series but the first book really stands out. The further into the series you go, the faster you seem to want to read, if you know what I mean. But the first book is very good Tier 2 stuff.
The Mote In God's Eye by Larry Niven is a good space navy kind of book. It makes it into my Tier 1 but not because of the military aspect, just a good story, very well written.
The Cobra Trilogy by Timothy Zahn is not so much about battlefield as it is about a group of soldiers who received permanent augmentations and their struggle to adapt later, after the fighting. Solid Tier 2.
Dorsai by Gordon Dickson. It's from the 50's but it's good. The dialogue style is... "older".. but it's still a good novel.
