Written "PVD" instead of "PSD" (Public Security Division)


* The Public Security Division and the Kerberos Unit have an intense one going on in ''[[Anime/JinRohTheWolfBrigade Jin-Roh]]''. PlayedForDrama, as the rivalry is escalating at a worrying rate. [[spoiler:In fact, the entire plot was brought about by it; Kei is really a Public Security agent and her romance with Fuse was staged to try and create a fake scandal that would let the PSD shut down the Kerberos Unit. Unfortunately for them, Kerberos know about the scheme and out-manipulate the PVD, killing Kei and several other agents while blackmailing the PVD into standing down.]]

* ''Film/Midway2019'': Absolutely ''vicious'' between the branches of the Japanese military, with Admiral Yamamoto telling his subordinates that Navy officers must be united against the Army, and Prime Minister Tojo (Chief of the Army General Staff) promptly demonstrating why by dismissing all of the Navy's concerns (such as the danger posed by surviving American aircraft carriers) and telling them that their only purpose was to transport the army to where they needed to fight. The corresponding American rivalries are mild in comparison.

** In recent seasons of ''Series/LawAndOrderSVU'', Immigration and Customs Enforcement has largely supplanted Internal Affairs as the interservice enemy of choice, as deportations are a convenient cover for disposing of witnesses and victims alike.

* Largely subverted on ''Series/{{Obliterated}}'', as the team is made up of members of the CIA (Ava), NSA (Maya), and all four branches of the Armed Forces ([=McKnight=] and Trunk are Navy SEALs, Gomez is a Marine Corps sniper, Yung is an Air Force helicopter pilot and Hagerty is an Army EOD Specialist). The team generally works well together, but they all hate the FBI, and the feeling is mutual.

Yeah, one would hope that rivalry can be put aside against giant robot {{Alien Invasion}}s.

** The Wano Country arc introduces SWORD, a group of young marines which [[spoiler:Coby and X Drake]] are a members of. While SWORD and Cipher Pol are both part of the World Government, the two organizations don't get along terribly well. The organizations don't share information with each other and have a lot of ideological differences, leading to quite a bit of tension on both ends.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky'': Liberl's Army and Intelligence Division have a major rivalry between one another and the [[AdventureGuild Bracer Guild]]. This builds up to a coup/CivilWar. The whole thing has it's roots in Cassius Bright resigning from the Army and creating a power vacuum 10 years prior.
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsFromZero'': Crossbell has a rivalry between sections of it's police department, with the Special Support Section being particularly disliked for being a transparent popularity ploy. Said popularity ploy stems from the Bracer's Guild being much more popular, and the SSS is specifically built to steal the thunder from the Bracer's Guild's more community focused activities.

* ''Manga/OnePiece'': For the most part, both the Marines and [[StateSec Cipher Pol]] get along well when it comes to crusading against piracy and serving the World Government. However, tensions sometimes crop up when it comes to the main goals of each organization. The Marines are focused primarily on stopping piracy and maintaining the security of the World Government and its member states. In contrast, Cipher Pol is primarily focused on serving the political interests of the World Government first and only stopping pirates and other criminals as a secondary objective.[[note]]The exception is if the mission a CP Agent is given specifically involves dealing with pirates/criminals that are considered political threats and/or threats large enough warrant assassination.[[/note]] As a result, clashes sometimes occur in which Marines and CP agents will not hesitate to try and kill each other during their respective missions. A good example is during the Enies Lobby Arc, when Vice Admiral Onigumo ordered his ships to open fire on the ship Luffy and Lucci were fighting on in an attempt to kill Luffy, and just before that, Lucci threatened to kill the Marines onboard the ship if they got in the way of his fight.

* In ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', the rivalry between doctors and surgeons is a frequent RunningGag, with J.D. imagining the two groups in one episode as [[Film/WestSideStory1961 the Sharks and the Jets]]. The doctors of Sacred Heart take pride in being responsible for diagnosing patients' ailments and determining the correct treatment (which requires exceptional deductive reasoning skills and knowledge of the human body), while surgeons take pride in being responsible for performing the most complex and difficult medical procedures (which usually mean the difference between life and death). Accordingly, many doctors view surgeons as DumbMuscle whose only job is "cutting people up", while many surgeons view doctors as timid geeks who don't have the skills to handle truly risky procedures.

** Army or Navy vs. the Air Force Falcons. The Air Force simply hasn't been around as long, so the rivalry hasn't truly had a chance to really ''fester'', you know? Even though the Air Force Academy has won [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commander-in-Chief%27s_Trophy the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy]] more often than either of its opponents, The Army-Navy Game is still the one taken the ''most'' seriously.

** Army vs. Navy in NCAA college football. Neither West Point or the US Naval Academy have been serious contenders in the NCAA for decades, but the rivalry is so notorious that it's one of the most anticipated games of the football season. It is traditionally held the weekend after the conference championship games and serves as both the last game of the regular season and the last game until the bowl games and playoffs begin in late December. The US Navy's official song "Anchors Aweigh", as originally composed, is about the Navy beating the army in the Army vs Navy football game. The song was written in 1906 and the lyrics wouldn't be modified to be "all Navy" until 1926.
