Military Options
The information below was copied/pasted in order to provide an overview of what the military has to offer those who are interested in serving. For those that are currently serving or have served in the past: thank you.
All information within this general description and the following mini descriptions were copied from Military.com (2015). Information was copied from "Explore the Several Ways to Serve," and "U.S. Armed Forces Overview." We do not claim any information on this page.
"What is the military? In simple terms, the U.S. Armed Forces are made up of the five armed service branches:
Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy. There are three general categories of military people: active duty (full-time soldiers and sailors), reserve & guard forces (usually work a civilian job, but can be called to full-time military duty), and veterans and retirees (past members of the military)" (Overview, 2015, para. 1).
"Each branch of the military has a unique mission within the overall mission of U.S. security and peace. Here they are in a nutshell (Overview, 2015, para. 3):
U.S. Army
Army and Army Reserve
Army National Guard
The dominant land power. The Army generally moves in to an area, secures it, and instills order and values before it leaves. It also guards U.S. installations and properties throughout the world.
The Army National Guard is an elite group of warriors who dedicate a portion of their time to serving their nation. Each state has its own Guard, as required by the Constitution; in fact, it is the only branch of the military whose existence is actually required by the Constitution.
U.S. Navy
Navy and Navy Reserve
The Navy accomplishes its missions primarily by sea, but also by air and land. It secures and protects the oceans around the world to create peace and stability, making the seas safe for travel and trade.
U.S. Air Force
Air Force and Air Reserve
Air National Guard
U.S. Marine Corps
Marine Corps and Marine Corps Reserve
The nation's source of air and space power. The primary mission of the USAF is to fly planes, helicopters, and satellites.
The Air National Guard as we know it today is a separate reserve component of the United States Air Force.
The Marine Corps is known as the U.S.' rapid-reaction force. They are trained to fight by sea and land, and usually are the first 'boots on the ground.' Marines are known as the world's fiercest warriors.
U.S. Coast Guard
Coast Guard and Coast Guard Reserve
U.S. Space Force
Space Force
The Coast Guard's mission is primarily with domestic waterways. The Coast Guard does rescues, law enforcement, drug prevention, and clears waterways.
