The United States Army (abbreviated USA stylised as U.S.A. ) is the land-based branch of the United States military. Founded in 1775 as the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, the Army is the largest and oldest branch of the US military.
The US Army was called the Union Army during the Civil War.
The US Army Rangers, from a certain point of view, pre-date the US Army, dating back to colonial militia using Native American tactics.
