The Red Ribbon Army is known across the world,[1] with Bulma stating that the Red Ribbon Army was so powerful and had such a massive influence that Earth's Military couldn't stand a chance against it. Officially led by a diminutive Commander Red, the goal of the Red Ribbon Army is to use any means necessary to obtain the Dragon Balls
and wish for world domination; however, Commander Red secretly plans
his wish for him to be a much taller person. Since he is very short in
size, he despises being around those who are taller than him, telling
Black constantly not to stand near him.

When he finds out about Red's plan, the shocked Staff Officer Black
asks how Red can sacrifice his own men to achieve this puny goal, to
which Red simply grunted that if the soldiers had been more careful they
would be alive. This causes Black to snap, and he kills the commander
and takes control of the Red Ribbon Army, renaming it the Black Ribbon Army (only in the anime). The entire army was defeated when a young boy named Goku sought to stop the army's evil ways by infiltrating the Red Ribbon Army Headquarters,
killing Black in the midst. After Black's defeat, the rest of the Red
Ribbon Army flees the headquarters and presumably disbands.
