I suggest you do not try to read too much because you may overwhelm yourself where you never begin to write.
Instead read a couple of the best.

One Book Will Help

I suggest you read a great book like Tom Clancy's Every Man a Tiger (non-fiction) amazon link

Reading that book will allow you to simmer inside the military lingo and honestly you could probably get everything you need from that book alone if you read it extremely carefully.

Second Book For Fun

Then also read a rip-roaring military fiction piece like John Ringo's Live Free or Die

After you read those two -- or maybe even before you complete them -- START WRITING.

A lot of your story won't be any different than any other story and won't require you to know every detail of military anyways.

Good luck.
