upgrade units in an army?

One of Civ3's least sensible 'gameplay' decisions, IMHO. I once made some armies that had three marines and an infantry each, only to realize that the inclusion of the infantry also makes the army unable to carry out amphibious assaults. As for not being able to upgrade units in armies, well - that is complete and utter nonsense.

Armies can upgrade themselves through victory in battle. Not much, but it helps.

I don't think it can be done.... dunno why though... creativity and a bit of intelligence as always lacking in people who can only think in terms of 0s and 1s... don't even bother using armies anymore... useless utterly uselessWithout music life would be a mistake - Nietzsche

No, adding a fourth unit in an army can be done after you build the pentagon small wonder(which comes available when you have 4 or more armies). Military Academy allows you to build armies in a city without using a leader.
Armies are not useless at all. Actually they are very strong, so strong that allowing you to upgrade or remove units was deemed overpowering.Don't eat the yellow snow.

I dunno how you use armies but wasting great leaders on them is a waste... but you need to waste one to get those small wonders... furterh thier use as an offensive unit is non existent... an army of tanks or three tanks? I'd go for 3 tanks for the extra mobility and the increase in the number of times I can attack... bloody army allows you one attack. Best use of an army would be in defence... but then again... a defensive army of spearmen ain't gona help much when you're up against even cavalary...Without music life would be a mistake - Nietzsche

I am not sure what all the fuss is about wonders. At emperor, I will get my one or two ancient ones and when I get to industrial age, I will likely get all of them or most anyway. I will not need leaders to rush wonder after steam very often. I will do it at times, but I can build them faster than the AI.
As to tank or any mobile units in armies they have the same movement as they did when not in an army as long as all are the same type. Armies of calv can make multiple attacks.
The AI is not going to be attacking that army of spearmen with a calv unit. I won't say never, but I have yet to see it. They are afraid of armies of any type, at any time.
I tell you this if you send three tanks to attack a metro with even a mech infantry unit in it, you stand a good chance of losing three tanks. If I attack it with an tank army, I will probably kill that unit.
