THE FOUNDING
Since its official establishment, June 14, 1775 — more than a year before the Declaration of Independence — the U.S. Army has played a vital role in the growth and development of the American nation. Drawing on both long-standing militia traditions and recently introduced professional standards, it won the new republic's independence in an arduous eight-year struggle against Great Britain. At times, the Army provided the lone symbol of nationhood around which patriots rallied.
TODAY'S ARMY
In the face of a pandemic, natural disasters, and supporting contingency operations around the world, Army Soldiers have performed above and beyond. The U.S. Army and its Soldiers, Civilians and families are ready to fight and win today, and fight and win tomorrow. They defend America 24/7.
