US Armed Forces
The U.S. Armed Forces comprise five main branches: the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. They are responsible for national defense, protecting the country’s interests, and providing assistance during emergencies. Each branch has specialized roles—such as land combat, naval operations, air warfare, and maritime safety. They operate under civilian oversight and include active-duty troops, reserves, and National Guard units. The military also engages in humanitarian missions and international partnerships, all aiming to ensure the security and stability of the United States and its allies.
