Argrath-Era Military Organization

General question for the digest - My knowledge of the events related in KoS is scanty at best, but I would assume that the legions led by Argrath were (a) simply more than Sartarites, and (b) had a different military organization than the loose type of structure than the Sartarite Hill tribes usually use. I'm under the impression that Argrath's changes were not simply introducing Draconic Magic to the people's of the Pass so that they could negate the Lunar magic advantage, but a whole new (or old?) way to wage war and organize armies to match the Lunar hoplites and tactical acumen.

How did Argrath organize his armies? Did he use the Empire of the Wyrm's Friends as a model? How did the EWF organize their armies, by the by? If the old EWF and Lunar Empire were to somehow meet, who would be the victor?

It seems to me that Argrath's new nation combines aspects of the Empire of the Wyrm's Friends with traditional Lightbringer Worship. Does Argrath's Empire stretch from Tarsh all the way down to the Holy Country and across Prax, or is he simply "just" the King of Sartar?

Awaiting correction in case of error, and comments.
