The United States Armed Forces is probably one of the most respected and prominent service organizations in the country. It is structured into five branches namely the United States Army, primarily preserves peace and security and defending the nation as well; United States Marine Corp, provides marine troops for defense and seizure of advanced bases also conducting land and air operations; United States Navy, defends the nation at sea and maintains security on the seas wherever the country's interest extend; United States Air Force, primarily responsible for air defense, air warfare and military space research; and United States Coast Guard that enforces military, civilian law and humanitarian policies in the maritime regions (international waters, United States coastal waters, ports and inland waterways); all under the control of the President, who serves as commander-in-chief.
Considering the different branches in the United States Armed Forces and the trainings imposed by these, all Americans in the country are assured for their security. That is why most of us feel safe whenever we see uniformed men lurking around. But with the number of branches, how can we identify one group from another? Well, you can check out the differing uniforms; or you can familiarize the respective
military flags that each branch has.
The latter is much easier since you almost always see patches of military flags on the uniforms of the personnel. Besides military uniforms oftentimes change that's why you'll end up confused if you make that as a differing mark.
