Something I've always been intrigued by is history and tradition, and that's why I'm quite curious. Among all of the branches, which one is considered the youngest?
The youngest branch of the United States military is the United States Space Force. It was formed fairly recently, on December 20, 2019. The Space Force's mission is to train and equip personnel, and also protect U.S. and allied interests in space. Things like monitoring ballistic missile launches, tracking space debris, and maintaining satellites that allow communication for the other branches of the military fall under their responsibilities. Fun trivia indeed!
