This is actually quite interesting, let me see.
Infantry: Light Battlemage force. As an avid reader of fantasy I can think of nothing that any army needs more of than warriors who can bend the very fabric of time and space. Being a lightly armored force makes them quick and being mages makes them versatile, a favorite combination of mine.
Vehicle: Stormwalkers from Scott Westerfeld's "Leviathan." I find steampunk under appreciated. Something about the futuristic machines being driven by old technologies really appeals to my flair for antiquity and my very active imagination.
Air: A heavily armored zepplin bomber. Not the fastest or most streamlined of vehicles, but a strong force with good stopping power. When in danger from other air units, however, it is able to deploy a small squad of aircraft to deal with the problem. Again, this fits into my fascination for older technologies. Perhaps it's just that I find zepplins to have an element of elegance missing in the digital age.
Ultra: A black dragon. Faster, but less well armored than the zepplin, the dragon is good for hit-and-run tactics and deals good damage. It's special power is resurrecting fallen units. A perfect complement to the zepplin and my rather obsessive need to have a complementary force. Also, the necromancy power plays well into my desire for knowledge, something most people don't understand.
Hero: Myself, slightly taller, wearing a black bowler, black pants, and black coat trimmed with silver. Also has a cane, black, of course. He has magical special abilities, but his primary weapon is a special pistol. His primary power is a fear spell that causes enemies closing in on him to turn and run away for a brief time. Not well armored, but enemies will have a tough time getting close.

How about:
Infantry: Reaper Conduits from inFAMOUS
Vehicle: The Shagohod from MGS3
Air: The Mugon from tengen toppa gurren lagann
Uber: The Smiths from Killer7
Hero:Mike Dawson Cartman from south park
My god that is terrible I shouldn't post after only two hours of being awake.

I'm a tech-nutty jack of all trades, so my army would reflect that.
My infantry would be versatile and all-purpose - a nice set of augmented, mechanised battle-armour with comprehensive information warfare capabilities and variable and versatile weapon loadouts to respond to changing combat situations. Give specialist units jump jet modules and/or active camouflage, just for kicks.
Vehicles would use a mix of armour and deflective shielding for defence, with a main battle tank packing something big and flashy to provide the hard punch to clear the way for the armoured troop transports.
Air units would have to be a VTOL aero-space fighter with modular weapon loadouts and complex ECM and anti-ECM systems - it's all about the tech advantage and versatility of role here
From low orbit bombing runs to close air support and everything in between there's a mission module for it
Super special awesome component would be something robotic, intelligent, insidious and unkillable - something only barely under control. A machine sentience distributed through nano-scale components, capable of endless self-assembly; a liquid metal that can spill an endless wave from the tiniest drop, form itself into whatever configuration the situation requires. Lets just hope it stops when we ask it nicely...
Hero? Some smart personal leader-type, big on defensive tech (personal shields and the like), expert at combined arms tactics. I dunno, seems kinda superfluous with that uber thingy. In fact, I have no idea where that thing came from...

I'll go with I'm used to. Meaning lots of thick forests, swamps and during winters snow and ice.
Infantry: Specialized against certain targets, while being able to hold it's own against most foes(like infantry in reality can)
Vehicles: Various forms of Patria Pasi and AMV. Extremely versatile vehicles.
Air: *bleep* the flyboys!
Über: Sharp shooters.
Hero: Simo Häyhä and Lauri Törni

well just thought id reply again with a fantasy army cause why not
Infantry: Warcraft orcs (not as dumb as warhammer orks but just as big and mean)
Vehicle: actually just a beast of war similar to the Khorne Juggernaught but a bit bigger
Air: unpiloted but well trained beasts of war to swoop down on the enemy or to counter act enemy ranged air
Uber: Visior the Chosen Wolf of Khorne (its a guy i made up myself so dont expect to google him) basically he's a Warrior of Chaos but awesomer: big ass war hammer called Infernofire and he's the only warrior of chaos sized or smaller guy who can use it, insanely heavy armour all crafted by a forge daemon prince (which in my mind is his sister but that aint important just yeah he has some background mays as well share some of it) and yeah he likes to kill shit, canonicaly (yes he has his own canon even though he doesnt exist even in the true warhammer world i like to write stories and thats how he cam about) he can catch shots fired from pretty much any cannon except the uber massive big ass ones, and can wade his way through greatswords without getting hurt so yeah only infantry and not especially fast but nearly indestructible (and magic wont work as he is protected by Khorne and well Khorne says fuck magic) also i think this is a bit OP but maybe a special hella expensive upgrade but Khorne grants him control over blood so he can just soughta rip it out of people
Hero: because of Visiors OPness for a fantasy guy he can fill both slots

Infantry: Spartans from Halo along with COG Gears from Gears of War. I'd literally have an unstoppable horde of invincible human tanks.
Vehicle: Mass produced Metal Gear REX's. Even more unstoppable tanks, unless Solid Snake happens to be on the other side.
Aircraft: The starship Enterprise along with a Borg cube.
Uber unit: Batman. I don't need to explain this.
Hero: Commander Shepard. No human could ever match Shepard, not now, not ever.
Beat that!

I like your topic. It be cool and funny. Let's see here...Daget Sparrow said:

Now, I have a far more evil army than this one, but I'll leave that to anyone who's curious enough to find out. In the meantime, here is Jack's version of the Enclave.
Infantry - The Enclave is a highly-secretive organization of people with no face beyond that of the black powersuit. Therefore here...you have the soldiers in mechanically-strong armor, wielding souped-up plasma rifles for long range and Ripper-type weapons for melee. Upgrades for infantry call for the surprise Replicant, which is a humanoid robot built directly into the powersuit for three times the strength and durability. Also, they've got a haymaker that can stop a bus.
Vehicle - Since there are air units, I'll assume this is for ground vehicles. Thus, I present to you the Enclave hovercraft, which is jet-driven and more-or-less tank-like in design with both forward plasma cannons and a mounted plasma turret. This hover-vehicle is fairly streamlined and may double as a troop carrier over land and sea, as per design. Its speed makes it a rather versatile piece of armor whose only real flaw is that it's not better armed. Upgrades, however, will include missles.
Air - C'mon, you knew it was coming. The Enclave Vertibird is an achievement of science made to essentially build a better kind of helicopter. Similar to an actual tilt-rotor vehicle, it acknowledges that it is not a plane and thus doesn't try to be one. Instead, it is one of the most stable air transport this organization will use to this day. It is equipped with both rapid-fire energy cannons and missles, and is exceptionally maneuverable when handled by an experienced pilot. Upgrades will include...carpet bombing.
Uber - The science division will always be cranking out new and deadlier toys. And for this entry, we present Omega Squad. They are the pinnacle of powersuits, the silver death machines who can mow the REST of their army down. Why? Well, combine an Enclave powersuit with the world of a man called uhhh...Tony Stark. This gets you...something alot like War Machine, what with the silver and all. Arm them with the NEW Vindicator Gatling Gun (Gauss Minigun) and the special Uber-Sledge, and...you have a pretty nasty opponent.
Hero - The leader of the Enclave (Number One) is too game-breakingly hard. Also, he's more of a villain. Therefore, the hero is from the Fallout Squad. That's right, a title-plug character. You see, everyone in the Enclave is without a true identity, just a number. And so the TRULY strong get to have a name, their FIRST name. And why? Because they are so incredibly nutty that you have to tell them apart. I am FalloutJack, and I am a hacked character who breaks the Fourth Wall. FalloutGreg is a stone-cold professional who may ot may not have a GIANT MECH on his side. FalloutBob is a ludicrously-insane fighter with a Beowulf complex. And so on. A Fallout member is a one-man army, and now we're in charge! WOOHOO!!
Infantry: Space marines, it is said a sinlge space marine squad can control a rebellious planet, imagine what an army would do.
Vehicle: UNSC warthogs, all the varients, mobile fast and hard hitting.
Air: Stormraven gunships, like warthogs, in the sky.
Uber: Stompas, gun platforms, or close combat assult machines, either way your stomped.
Hero: My Kaptin Titankilla, tough as rock, mighty as a titan.
I'll stomp ya flat from afar, before coming in to smack ya aside.

Infantry: Humans wielding various number of chemicals like the desolator troopers from Red Alert expansion, chemical warfare is good against large scale forces and drain moral like hell. probably alos weld spikes on and tint the armor darker for purly cosmetic reasons
Vehicle: deff dreads, the shock value and firepower it brings to a warzone is amazing, and some more wielded spike to go with the uniform gothic style. also prob try to attach some ant air guns to the back for pesky aerial assaults
Air: Preferrably a mix of MiG fighters from the soviet era, with spray gun attached to the bottom for the spreading of chemicals over a wide area.
Hero: Me, Kinda looking like the Mad Doks from the warhammer series with a few chemicals in a pouch as grenades and an energy shield that would electrocute everyone around me and a knife resembling the medics Uber Saw.
I had WAYY too much fun typing this

Infantry: Professionals. They deploy in four-man fireteams which consist of two riflemen, a machine-gunner and a Designated Marksmen. Fast, lightly-armoured, heavy-hitting and relatively cheap to produce. Upgrade for massive cover bonuses, and reinforcements. Also possesss an ability to turn into a "Command Squad", which consits of one rifleman, one machine-gunner, one unti which provides passive buffs to all otehr squads (Damage, extending FoW, extending range, et cetera) and a fourth unit which can dettach (Like DoW commisars) and attach to other unit to boost health regeneration. All squads can reinforce.
Vehicles: Light Vehicle Columns. A pair of Humvees with mounted .50s and one with a grenade launcher.
Fast, maneuverable, and reinforceable.
Air: Recon Drones: Unarmoured, but invivsible, and fast. Provides passive range and damage boosts to nearby friendlies. Any area the drone sees, the Uber Unit can target.
Uber: Scout-Sniper Team. Two-man squad, reinforceable, "Sniper" can target any area it can see or a recon drone has eyes on for massive, precision damage. Full squad (Te Spotter) gets a damage and sight range boots. The Spotter also acts as a designated marksmen.
Hero Unit: Sam Fisher.

I would be a versatile unit, effective at everything, but not excelling at anything. I don't play enough rts games to name a unit that fills that niche.
Maybe swordsman?
