  United States Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Army of the United States was re-established for the Korean War and Vietnam War and was demobilized upon the suspension of the draft.
Although the present-day Army exists as an all volunteer force, augmented by Reserve and National Guard forces, measures exist for emergency expansion in the event of a catastrophic occurrence, such as a large scale attack against the US or the outbreak of a major global war.
The civilian executive is the Secretary of the Army who heads the United States Department of the Army, formerly called the Secretary of War who headed the United States Department of War or the War Office for short, at the founding of the Republic.

 NEW DUDS: New Army Combat Uniform
On the Army's 229th birthday, senior leadership introduced the Army Combat Uniform during a Pentagon cake-cutting ceremony.
Fashion statements aside (opinion seems to be divided on the new "Mandarin collar" and beret), it's clear that some of the changes to the ACU -- the "wrinkle-free" guarantee, the digital camouflage, the angled pockets, the improved hot-weather boots -- are for the better.
The makers of the new uniform may have gone a bit overboard in terms of the sheer number of pockets, as well.

 DefenseLINK News: New Iraqi Army First Brigade Nearly Complete   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
To prevent infiltration in the new army by insurgents, Eaton said that new recruits are screened through a database that checks for Baath Party and Special Republican Guard affiliation.
Because of the cost of equipping the new Iraqi army, Eaton said the decision was made to organize the first four battalions as light-motorized infantry units, which he added is "most training-intensive and least equipment-intensive of any military units." Such units essentially consist of large and small transport vehicles and direct-fire weapons, he said.
Aside from the country's army, Eaton said the coalition is establishing a small coastal defense force, and a small aviation element to help the Iraqi military monitor and protect the country's coastal borders and important facilities.
