Background on the Branches of the United States Military

The branches of the U.S. Armed Forces each have their own legacy and continue to evolve in response to global challenges. Working together, they provide the foundation of national defense. The six branches are outlined below:

• United States Army: Established on June 14, 1775, the U.S. Army is the nation’s oldest and largest military branch. It originated as the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War and has been instrumental in major conflicts, including the Civil War, both World Wars, and more. The Army is the core ground force of the military, maintaining preparedness for land-based missions around the world.
• United States Navy: Formed on October 13, 1775, the Navy began as a small fleet designed to disrupt enemy supply lines. Over time, it has grown into a formidable maritime force known for its strategic reach and global operations. From the Battle of Midway to the era of nuclear-powered vessels, the Navy has played a key role in shaping U.S. military power across the seas.
• United States Marine Corps: Created on November 10, 1775, the Marine Corps is renowned for its expeditionary capabilities. As a force that bridges land and sea, the Marines are often the first to respond in combat scenarios. They’ve earned distinction in battles like Iwo Jima and the Chosin Reservoir, continuing to serve as a fast-reacting and adaptable combat force.
• United States Air Force: Officially established on September 18, 1947, the Air Force emerged from the Army Air Forces to become an independent branch focused on air and space dominance. Its evolution spans strategic bombing missions in WWII to today’s operations involving precision strikes, air mobility, and space-based defense systems.
• United States Space Force: Created on December 20, 2019, the Space Force is the newest branch, designed to manage space as a domain of warfare. Its mission is to organize, train, and equip space professionals who protect critical space infrastructure, such as satellites and missile warning systems—ensuring the U.S. remains secure in this high-tech frontier.
• United States Coast Guard: Founded on August 4, 1790, the Coast Guard operates with both military and law enforcement duties. Its responsibilities include maritime safety, environmental protection, and border security. The Coast Guard has a long history of search and rescue missions and can serve under the Navy during wartime, reflecting its unique flexibility and importance in both defense and civilian roles.
