For those who may have forgotten, the Red Ribbon Army has been a part of the franchise since the very beginning. They are a paramilitary criminal organization on Earth with power that reaches globally. When, eventually, the leader of the Army, the poorly designed and named Staff Officer Black, was defeated by Goku, the organization faded into obscurity.
Dr. Gero of the Red Ribbon Army managed to survive and created the Androids we all know and love, which played a huge part in the classic Android and Cell sagas. Now they are returning, and the adventure will continue with Gohan with his adorable glasses.
