I always had an interest in history and it's making me lean towards the military as a post-graduation option. This might be a random question, but do any of you happen to know what was the first established branch of the U.S military?
The first established branch of the U.S. military was the Army, which was officially created on June 14, 1775. This was during the Revolutionary War, where the United States was fighting for independence from Britain. The purpose was to unite the colonial militias under a single command structure. The Army is still the largest branch of the U.S military today and offers several career paths and opportunities for further education and training. It's noteworthy that service in the military can provide ample occasions for learning history first-hand through service and global postings.
