history of the united states military

The US military formed on june 14th, 1775, during the american revolution. It was first called the continental army. George Washington was the first president of the United states but also was the first president to use our military.  The US developed a more formal kind of military in 1846 during the Mexican American war. The war started when a detachment of U.S. troops clashed with Mexican forces near the Rio Grande.  

The next time the U.S.army is used in major action was World War 1. This war brought many improvements in combat and a new kind of strength to the U.S. Their navy was stronger than ever and the U.S. had its first tank corps giving them another advantage on the battlefield. After WW1 the U.S. would slowly grow to be the world superpower. World War 2 would bring the U.S. army back out. After Japan launched their attack on pearl harbor the U.S. would officially join the war effort. WW2 would bring many improvements to the United states army and navy.  This would rang from weapons, vehicles, training to technology and science. 

    Couple years later the United States went to war with afghanistan. The U.S would show how strong they are by using air strikes and vast improvements to there strategies and  weapons.

  • I didn't know any about the US army's history. I think that the information would definetly be useful for someone involved in the military or the government and also just good to know for all US citizens. It's important we have respect for the military and veterans.

  • I wasn't that sure of the history but I knew a good amount about the army. I think that this had a lot of information about the army. I don't but the information is very cool and helped me learn a few things.

  • I didn't really know about the history of our army, but I did know that Geoge Washington started the whole process. I think that this information is useful for people wanting to go into the military, but it probably isn't very useful to me because I won't use it at all.
