Whois & Analysis for armystudyguide.com

The United States Army (USA) is the largest branch of the United States Armed Forces and performs land-based military operations.

It is one of the seven uniformed services of the United States and is designated as the Army of the United States in the United States Constitution, Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1 and United States Code, Title 10, Subtitle B, Chapter 301, Section 3001.

As the largest and senior branch of the U.S. military, the modern U.S. Army has its roots in the Continental Army, which was formed (14 June 1775) to fight the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783)—before the U.S. was established as a country.

After the Revolutionary War, the Congress of the Confederation created the United States Army on 3 June 1784, to replace the disbanded Continental Army.

The United States Army considers itself descended from the Continental Army, and dates its institutional inception from the origin of that armed force in 1775.

The Army Board is the top single-service management committee of the British Army, and has always been staffed by senior politicians and soldiers.

Until 1964 it was known as the Army Council.

A non-commissioned officer or noncommissioned officer (NCO, colloquially non-com or noncom) is a military officer who has not earned a commission.

Such is also called sub-officer in some countries.

Non-commissioned officers, in the English-speaking world, usually obtain their position of authority by promotion through the enlisted ranks.

In contrast, commissioned officers hold higher ranks than NCOs, have more legal responsibilities, are paid more, and often have more non-military training such as a university diploma.

Commissioned officers usually earn their commissions without having risen through the enlisted ranks.

"Mustang" is a slang term in the United States Armed Forces used to refer to a commissioned officer who began his or her career as an enlisted service member.
