	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.
		Upon joining the Army, all Soldiers (officers and enlisted) must swear (or affirm) an oath to "protect the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, both foreign and domestic." This emphasis on the defense of the United States Constitution illustrates the concern of the framers that the military be subordinate to legitimate civilian authority.

	FEEDING BILLY YANK - Union Rations between 1861 and 1865 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		When his army was in camp or garrison, he typically received the full ration according to Army Regulations; while on campaign he was issued the much abbreviated marching ration.
		The army recognized the problem and attempted to upgrade the nutritional value of the ration by issuing what Army Regulations called "desiccated [dehydrated] compressed potatoes" and "desiccated compressed mixed vegetables." Soldiers were to take the cubes of potatoes or turnips, carrots, and assorted greens and add them to water.
		Not all of the South produced edible crops, and usually the Confederate Army was nearby to prevent the Union troops from dispersing enough to glean rations from the countryside.

		It was a vast improvement over the earlier "system," wherein bandsmen in the Union command, and men randomly specified in the Confederacy, were simply appointed to drive the ambulances and carry the litters.
		Such improved organization was copied or approximated in the other field armies despite loud opposition from the Quartermaster Corps, which wanted to keep control of ambulances and drivers, and from some field commanders, of whom Major General Don Carlos Buell of the Army of the Ohio was notable for noncooperation.
		Despite the vast improvement in the evacuation of the wounded from the battle field, it was not until March 1864 that Congress published the act (Public 22) to create an Ambulance Corps for all the Union Armies.

		The most bountiful of all food, and probably the mainstay diet of both armies was hard bread, or commonly referred to as "hardtack." This was the easiest for the infantryman to carry when on the march.

	Was the Union Army
		Let a standing army, fully equal to the resources of the country, be formed; and let it be entirely at the devotion of the federal government; still it would not be going too far to say, that the State governments, with the people on their side, would be able to repel the danger.
		The Union’s creation of martial law in the South can hardly be within the ambit of “establishing justice” or “securing the blessings of liberty.” “Domestic tranquility” was clearly not insured by the bloodiest war ever fought in North America.
		It was rather a union of early history and future promise, of generations past and generations still to come, of agriculture and industry, of plains and seaboard, of the vast hosts of mystical and emotional forces which give to man a greater sense of belonging, a greater sense of community.69

		Apparently the informal truce established between the two sides shortly after the Union army dug in at Chattanooga extended further than is commonly supposed.
		We had manoeuvered him out of Chattanooga, but had not manoeuvered out entire army into it, and he fell back so sullenly that those of us who followed, keeping him actually in sight, were a good deal more concerned about effecting a junction with the rest of our army than to push the pursuit.
