The US Army is the branch of the United States armed forces responsible for land-based military operations. It is the largest and oldest established branch of the U.S. military, and is one of seven uniformed services. The modern Army has its roots in the Continental Army which was formed on 14 June 1775, before the establishment of the United States, to meet the demands of the American Revolutionary War.

George Washington was appointed as its commander. The Army was initially led by men who had served in the British Army or colonial militias and who brought much of British military heritage with them

Some statements about the Army:

"An army of asses led by a lion is better than an army of lions led by an ass."
--- GEORGE WASHINGTON

"Not everyone is qualified to join this team. To enlist you have to both meet our high standards and be motivated to serve your country — motivation or qualification alone is not enough."
