The United States Military

We all know that the purpose of the United States military. Some of you may think that being a part of the American military is an important aspect of our country. Others may not think of it as such a big deal. But before you have made up your mind about it, consider the challenges and suffering that people face every day in order to protect and serve our country, which means they are protecting us. The military forces consist of the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Coast Guard, and the Air Force. The U.S. Armed Forces is one of the largest military in terms of number of personnel. Military veterans' determination for our safety is signified by cooperation. As Jane Dyer said, “It’s not about who crosses the finish line first or last, what's important is that everyone gets across. Teamwork is a needed example in the military.

The Army

The Army is made up of a great quantity of armed forces, which are organized into components. The units consist of Squad, Company, Brigade, Platoon, Division, Battalion, and Corps. The mission of the Army is to preserve peace and security, support nation policies, implement national goals, and overcome nations accountable for forceful act that endanger the safekeeping and peace of the United States.

The Navy's mission is to preserve, train and prepare combat ready Naval forces capable of winning wars, preventing violence, and upholding freedom of the seas. They also protect and secure the rights of the United States and our supporters in contradiction of its enemies so we can move along the oceans freely. The Navy Departments contain Secretary, Chief of Naval Operations and Personnel, Joint Chief of Staff, and Commandant of the Marine Corps.

The Navy ships entail aircraft carriers that permit portable projection of Naval Air power across the world. They are amphibious assault ships that arrange and support U.S. ground forces in inaccessible places, battleships that are severely armed warships intended to engross other warships, cruisers that are able to engage numerous immediate targets and employed in force support or independent action, destroyers are fast warships delivering multi-mission offensive and defensive skill, independently or in fleet support, frigates that are intended to safeguard other ships, and submarines that are capable of underwater procedures and are also designed to carry out research, rescue, or specific wartime assignments.

The Marine Corps

The Marine Corps are responsible for making power projection available from the sea. They work with naval forces for training, for transportation, and logistic purposes. They are responsible for capture or security of advanced naval bases and other land operations to upkeep naval campaigns, expansion of strategies, performance, and equipment used to amphibious landing forces, and other obligations that may be directed by the president. Their commitment is “Make Marines, win Nation's battles, develop quality citizens.”

The Air Force

The Air Force's mission is to fly, fight, and win in air, space, and cyberspace.  The unique abilities of the Air Force are air and space superiority, global attack, rapid global mobility, precision engagement, information superiority, agile combat support, and core values. Joint forces can control enemy operations in all proportions with air and space advantage that includes land, space, air, and sea. The Air Force can attack anywhere, anytime because of the scientific developments. They can do it rapidly and with great accuracy. The Air Force has rapid global mobility which is being able to respond quickly and determinedly anywhere they are needed. The Air Force bases these core competencies and individual capabilities on a shared commitment to three values: Integrity first, Service before Self, and Excellence in all we do.

The Coast Guard- Ready Today, Preparing for Tomorrow

The U.S. Coast Guard has protected our nation's maritime interests in the heartland, in the ports, at sea, and around the earth. They protect the naval economy and the environment; they preserve their maritime boundaries, and save those in danger. Their missions involve ports, waterways, and coastal security, drug interdiction, aids to navigation, search and rescue, living marine resources, marine safety, defense readiness, migrant interdiction, marine environmental protection, ice operations, and other law enforcement.

Thousands of people have sacrificed their lives in order to protect Americans. These men and women who serve their country should earn more than tribute. They need the best from us and everything it takes to restore their lives. They have endangered their lives for all of us. We are all Americans, so when we work collectively we can achieve anything, and we can all help one another as a team to cross the finish line.
