On June 14, 1775, the Continental Congress authorized the Continental Army's formation to fight the British during the Revolutionary War. That Army disbanded after the war but Congress officially created the United States Army on June 3, 1784.

How to Join the Army
A recruiter will ensure that all persons wishing to join the Army take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). This is an 11 part, multiple choice test that determines an applicant’s qualifications. The results determine what job sector within the Army that person is best suited for.

Once all paperwork is completed the recruit will attend Basic Training. This 10-week course transforms civilians into a soldier. After Basic Training is completed the Army member attends Advanced Individual Training (AIT) where they receive training based upon their MOS (military occupational specialties). Once all training is completed they will be assigned to a duty station, which could be within the United States or overseas, where they truly begin their military career.

The Army has many branches ranging from Infantry, Medical, Corps of Engineers, Military Intelligence and Medical.
