How well do you know the branches of the military and what they do to protect our country? For example, do you know which branch was founded first? Which has fought in the most wars? Which lives by the motto Honor, Courage, Commitment? Which is on the ground first in a conflict?

Many people wouldn’t know the answers to these questions, but with the primer below, you can learn these answers—and so much more—about each branch!

Motto: This We’ll Defend

Wars Fought: American Revolutionary War, Indian Wars, War of 1812, Mexican-American War, Utah War, American Civil War, Spanish-American War, Banana Wars, Philippine-American War, Boxer Rebellion, World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War, Kosovo War, War in Afghanistan, War in Iraq

Description: The Army is a powerful fighting force defending and serving our nation by land, sea, and air. Elite groups within the Army, such as the Army Rangers and Special Forces, receive specialized training for advanced combat situations. In addition to domestic bases, the Army has permanent stations in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, as well as troops on the ground wherever there is a conflict.
