I doubt that there would be a lot of divisions within the military and if there are the renegade elements would be extremely small.
Remember also that most of the officers have sworn an oath to defend and uphold the constitution and in the same breath obey the commands of the president and commander in chief. If Trump is thrown out he has no authority and any and all orders generated by him would be illegal.
What you might get is small splits within units, I even doubt that you would get renegade units because unless we're talking about the national guard, Military Units are pretty much mixed with elements from all over the States.
The National Guard units might be a different animal just because most national guard units are comprised of civilian soldiers from that area. So the North Carolina National Guard might respond to a order from the Governor.
I just can't see it happening.
