As far as I am aware, the Amazon Brigade doesn’t have to be elite?
"The only thing which is certain, is that something will happen"."The Amazon Brigade is an elite fighting unit, often the best of the best or damn near close to it, that is composed entirely of women. Naturally, they should never be underestimated, for they can and will kick your ass with ease."
- paragraph 1
Anyway, this is more a Trope Finder question
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper Wall^^^Just "mooks but female" isn't necessarily a trope.
That said, I personally think Amazon Brigade could stand to be broadened from needing to be an elite unit; I feel like that's unnecessary narrow.
Updating the Amazon Brigade is probably the best action. Since calling every female army or force an "Amazon Brigade" feels off given how some are treated. I'd maybe suggest (and help!) Either expand the Amazon Brigade trope or make a new trope for those female armies that are more treated like mooks. (Maybe Amazon Mook as a name?)
Hey, this isn't trope talk. We can't discuss renames and expansions here

So Amazon Brigade is the catch all term for an all female army. Bodyguard Babes are usually the elite guards of a main villian. But what about female armies who aren't as elite as the Amazon Brigade? Often treated as mooks instead of competent soldiers? More a group/division of an evil mook army that's all female?
