In 1775, before the Declaration of Independence was signed, 13 British colonies in the New World decided they needed to create a military force in order to successfully rebel against Britain, and create a new nation. They created the Continental Army, Continental Navy, and the Continental Marine Corps. With those military powers, they successfully overthrew the British Empire and created a nation of their own, the United States of America. Later in 1790 they made a new branch, called the US Coast Guard. The Air Force is the most recent branch of the US Military. It was originally a branch of the Army, the Army Air Force, but was officially made into its own separate branch in 1947. Because of its military forces, the United States of America has grown into the powerful nation that it is today.
In order for a military force to be effective, there has to be order. This is accomplished through a chain of command. That basically means there is one person, the president, who is in charge of several others, who in turn are in charge of several more people, etc., until you get to the bottom. There is also rank, which is a title you earn, starting from the bottom (E-0) and working your way up. This often determines your position in the chain of command.
