	Military of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		United States military officers are appointed from a variety of sources, including the service academies, ROTC, and direct appointment from both civilian status and the enlisted ranks.
		The United States Army is not as portable as the Marine Corps, but Army Chief of Staff General Peter Schoomaker announced a reorganization of the Army's active-duty units into 48 brigade groups with an emphasis on power projection.
		Under the United States Constitution, the President of the United States is the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces.

	United States armed forces - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
		Title 14, U.S. Code, Section 1, states "The Coast Guard as established January 28, 1915, shall be a military service and a branch of the armed forces of the United States at all times." In peacetime it is part of the Department of Homeland Security, but in wartime becomes part of the Department of Defense.
		However, the United States military was still organized along lines of command that reported to their respective service chiefs (Chiefs of Staff of the Army and Air Force, Commandants of the Marine Corps and Coast Guard, and Chief of Naval Operations).
		United States military organization now flows from service arm generals (such as the commander of an Army division or corps), to the appropriate regional or functional combatant commander.

	United Press International: Veterans decry Rumsfeld's draft comments (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		He spoke of the fact that many of those who were drafted were trained, served for a short time and then left the service.
		Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., a Korean War veteran and a strong critic of going to war with Iraq, introduced a bill to initiate a draft because he believes the burden of military service is borne disproportionately by minorities.
		Rangel also believes if there were a universal draft, Congress and the public would have less of an appetite for war as it would mean endangering their own children's lives.

	Navy League of the United States - Citizens in Support of the Sea Services
		U.S. Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee and a strong supporter of U.S. military spending and transformation, remains skeptical of the current state of UAVs.
		In light of this development, the service this spring essentially spiked the BAMS effort begun in 2001 and is returning to the drawing board to redefine a program for persistent maritime ISR capability.
		Service officials note that the program delay will give the Navy more time to experiment with two high-flying Global Hawk UAVs that are being delivered this year from the Air Force as part of a demonstration program to assess their utility for maritime surveillance.

		In this light I find it curious that the United States, which developed, exploited, and revealed these new military technologies in the Gulf War, has failed fully to grasp at least one of the principal lessons from that war.
		First, it is essential for the United States to continue to forge ahead of other nations, not only in the exploitation of information warfare, but in defensive measures.
		The Department of State has recently stated (in response to Russian complaints about our indifference to their sphere of influence in the `Near Abroad') that the Department of State states that the United States does not acknowledge the legitimacy of spheres of influence.

		In the war on terrorism, it is useful for the United States to have allies.
		The September 11, 2001 attack on the United States resolved a debate within NATO as to whether regions beyond the North Atlantic arena are “out-of-area.” NATO member states now realize that responding to threats emanating from beyond Europe are part of NATO's mission.

		As stated in our letters of September 16, 2002, March 14, 2003, and September 2, 2003, we believe Major General Clark has failed to exhibit the leadership necessary for command of 5th Army.
		While Major General Clark met with PFC Barry Winchell's parents and has met with members of the committee, this in no way ameliorates the atmosphere fostered under his command at Fort Campbell, Kentucky and his behavior in the aftermath of the PFC Winchell's death continue to seriously call into question the wisdom of this nomination.
		At his murderers' trial, soldiers and non-commissioned officers in Winchell's unit testified that he had faced daily anti-gay harassment for several months leading up to his death, and that although his commanders knew about the harassment they did nothing to remedy it.
