Question

list in correct order ,navy, air force, national gaurd, army, marines, air gaurd..............etc.

Answer 1

I don't know what your saying, but we don't exaclty use them in that way if your asking what I tihnk your asking. Its not like we say, "ok Navy go get them! Uh oh, we lost the Navy! Army go get them! Uh oh we lost the Army! Next..."

Each branch has a specific purpose and they work together.

Answer 2

That would I suppose depend on the need.

Civil disturbance / large scale terrorist attack / riots - The police force of that city might be called upon first, the coast guard if there is a sea channel / coastal region already has and would be engaged in the instance the disturbance was somehow at sea or involved the coasts/harbors etc. After no more than a few hours/couple of days, the state/national guard then possibly the army or marines would be deployed to a city. The navy and or air force might patrol the area to forcably secure the seaways/airspace in addition to coast guard activities. This is the most probable scenario for most types of invasions as well, Invasion from Mexico or Canada. This is more or less what happened to the New York and Washington metropolitan areas during 9/11.

Sea - Invasion by sea would be an exception to this rule it's likely the invasion force would be detected at sea beforehand and the navy/coast guard and air-force would be mobilized first, the Marines (since their specialty is littoral wars), and the State National Guard and ultimately the Army would be called up to defend the state(s) being invaded.

Air/Space invasion - no such nation posesses a capability like this but in the future it might be possible to create large heavy-lift space borne troop transport, carrying hundreds or thousands of troops. In this scenario , the Air/Space forces of the US might be called upon to intercept/destroy the orbiting lift-vehicle. The reaction time being so small, it might be that the invading troops were landed and on the ground before the air-force could really do anything about it. So the first reaction would be the local police department, the local state government/national guard/constabulatory and then the Army and Air Force.

If a city or state politically ceeded or rebelled against the rest of the country, a number of options might arise. Texas is the only state which can leave without technically automatically triggering some sort of incident.

Theoretically any other state could leave the charter of the constitution as a result of a state-based political process, this would likely be a long term process, but the federal reaction is could still be militarily to enforce the state to "stay" in the union. But in that case the national forces would be called up in a war against the rouge state, Army, Navy, Airforce the works however too harsh a response could prompt sympathetic states to withdraw from the union as well.

An interesting twist was actually openly discussed among some Governor's recently, regarding the ongoing war, that of turning their respective states' national guard units into state militias - which sounds just like a semantic argument except that state militias are under in most cases the the state's elected leader/ the Governor of the state, and not the President or Congress of the Federal Republic.

Answer 4

America's military mindset is Joint Forces. That means all the branches work together at the same time toward the same goal. We use Air Force planes to transport the Army and Marines. The Navy uses their ships and choppers to do the same. Every aspect of military operations has some joint aspect to it. So, there is to first second, third, or whatever.

Answer 5

There is no clear cut answer for this question. There is no order of defending the USA. They all provide certain functions.

Answer 6

just remember, the marines are the first in and last out!!!
