The Army.
The US Army is known the world over. The largest fighting force of the United States military is known for the top notch soldiers and excellent training. Exceptional personnel and top quality up to date equipment work together to provide exemplary protection for Americans, securing its interests around the globe.
With primary responsibility for most military land based operations, the United States Army is thought of by many to be the most powerful branch of the United States military as well. In excess of a half a million soldiers serve in active duty capacity, while a generous budget and huge assemblage of the most advanced equipment available today outfit and maintain those soldiers.
The Army was originally the Continental Army formed in 1775. The Continental Army was established before the United States was officially a sovereign nation by a Congress in control at the time to meet the growing needs of the American Revolutionary War. When the Revolutionary War came to an end in 1784, Congress formed the United States Army to replace the Continental Army.
In the Army there are three main elements: Active Duty (regular army), The Army National Guard and The Army Reserves (both of which are reserve components). Both National Guard and the Reserves are comprised of part time soldiers. These part time soldiers train one time per month throughout the year, and then serve for an additional two to three weeks per year.
Any member of the US Army is officially classified as a Soldier. Soldiers who enlist in the United States Army display the utmost in physical and emotional strength. They fulfill service to our country by being ready for combat or other missions wherever they are needed at a second's notice. Army soldiers are prepared at all times, and have a strong sense of purpose that enables them to perform at the highlest levels possible.
Today the Army has bases and facilities all over the world, and they enjoy a stellar reputation as a premier fighting force.
The Navy.
The United States Navy is mostly responsible for naval missions and operations for the U.S. The Navy is well known for their flexibility and mobility as a fighting force, and their exceptional skills at carrying out sea based military operations.
The Marines and the US Navy both carry out both peace time and war time seaborne objectives, and the Navy enjoys a special relationship with the Marines. The two fighting forces work closely together when the need arises for such cooperation. In some cases, Marines qualify for the Navy cross and the Naval Academy provides training for some USMC officers. The United States Navy also works closely with the United States Coast Guard since the Navy is precluded by law from performing certain law enforcement duties, but the Coast Guard is able to carry out.
Serving during the Revolutionary War, the United States Navy was formed and known as the Continental Navy and was disbanded in 1790. When the original U.S. Constitution gave Congress the power to form and maintain a naval force, the Navy was reassembled in 1794. The United States Navy has grown into the superior fighting force of the seas that we are currently familiar with today.
The US Navy offers high school students a wide variety of jobs, most notable that of high tech US Navy jobs all around the globe. There are US Navy jobs that match the talents and interests of just about everyone. And as long as you’re in the US Navy, you’ll get top–notch training, exceptional benefits and the experience of a lifetime.
The US Navy offers several ways to help high school students pay college expenses. Those making good grades and involved in extracurricular activities may qualify for the US Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps. (NROTC) scholarships or be nominated for the US Naval Academy.
The NROTC Program was established to educate and train qualified young men and women for US Navy Jobs as commissioned officers in the unrestricted line Naval Reserve or Marine Corps Reserve. As the largest single source of Navy and Marine Corps officers, the NROTC Scholarship Program plays an important role in preparing mature young men and women for leadership and US Navy management Jobs in an increasingly technical Navy and Marine Corps.
Enlistment into the Navy requires that all new recruits complete basic training, or boot camp. This is an 8 week program that takes place in Great Lakes, Illinois. Once finished with boot camp program, you will find that you are a physically strong sailor boasting skills that will see you through the rest of your life.
The Air Force.
Known as the flight based branch of the US military forces, the U.S. Air Force is the first and foremost authority on aerospace related military matters.
Originally called the Aeronautical Division of the US Signal Corps, the first US Air Force originated in August 1907. Subsequent to that, it evolved into several different entities with several different names. Around 1941 it was called the Air Corps and was a combat section of the US Army and the subsequently the United States Air Force was formed in 1947 and became the USAF that we are currently familiar with.
The National Security Act formed the Air Force in 1947 and it states that "the United States Air Force shall include aviation forces both combat and service not other wise assigned..." Today the goal of the United States Air Force is to provide security and support for the defense of the United States and it interests world wide - to fly and fight in Air, Space and Cyberspace.
Around the world there is no other air force equaled in size, strength and technology. Utilizing thousands of manned and un-manned aircraft that perform a huge array of tasks, as well as boasting of more than 250,000 active duty personnel and in excess of 150,000 civilian personnel who provide support, the U.S. Air Force is the premier air based fighting force anywhere.
The Marine Corps.
The United States Marine Corps are known as the fighting force to call on for any special or out of the ordinary combat situations. They are responsible for amphibious missions and take advantage of the US Navy's mobility to maintain safety and security for all American citizens around the world.
The USMC came about in 1775 as the Continental Marines, and they asnwered to the Navy. Originally serving as a naval infantry unit, Marines took part in the Revolutionary War and have participated in all military conflicts involving the United States ever since. Today the USMC is known as the ruling authority on any and all amphibious type missions.
The USMC coordinates and provides support and security for the White House and the State Department. Marine guards offer protection to the President at Camp David and other presidential retreats, provide pilots and helicopter transportation to the President and the Vice President. Marines also have security detail in place at American embassies and consulates all over the globe.
New Marines attend boot camp in either San Diego, California, or Parris Island, South Carolina. Women are required to attend basic training at Parris Island only. At 13 weeks long, Boot Camp for the Marines lasts the longest period of time of all the branches of the military and is considered one of the toughest.
The Coast Guard.
The US Coast Guard is an intregal part of the United States military forces. They are probably the least known of the United States Armed Forces, but the U.S. Coast Guard plays a vital role in the defense of the United States. The Coast Guard is also the oldest continuous seagoing service in the United States Military and they carry principal responsibility for the safety and security of our nation's shorelines and waterways.
The primary difference between the Coast Guard and other branches of the military is the Coast Guard offers all job and career fields to women as well as men, and this includes combat positions too. Individuals with prior service in some other branch of the U.S. armed forces are often qualified to become part of the United States Coast Guard, and are highly encouraged to do so.
Enlisting with the Coast Guard affords many benefits to its members such as educational benefits and programs, advancement and promotion, life insurance, high quality medical care, competitive pay, vacation time, career and job training and much more.
Coast Guard boot camp is similar to other military boot camps or basic training. It lasts 8 weeks, is physically demanding and you will have to achieve the basic mandatory requirements to graduate.
