Answer 1

Army (including army reserve and national guard)
*Ground forces, close air support, armor, infantry, lots of logistics and medical, air defense*

Navy (including naval reserves)
*They own the seas. Everything from subs to aircraft carriers and destroyers that can hit land targets with shells or missiles from a long way away. Also has naval aviation that fly combat missions much like the airforce*

Air Force (including air national guard and reserves)
*these guys own the sky. Air to air, air to ground, fly in supplies and troops*

Marines (including reserves)
*mostly infantry, these guys are on the front lines before anyone else. Also have artillary and some close air support*

Coast Guard (including reserves)
*Patrol the waters around the United States. Stop illegals & drug runners from entering the country. Conduct rescue missions in our waters as well*

**NOTE** The Boarder Patrol is operated by the Department of Homeland Security, not Department of Defense.

Answer 2

US Army- Main mission is to fight a protracted ground war, infantry and armoured division. Specialities within the service are Rangers, and SF.
US Navy- Pretty obvious what they do, they are also a key air support component for the US Marines. They have their own miniature air force at their disposal. The Marines also fall under their umbrella for everything.
US Air Force- The air wing of Americas Military, they proide security for bases and of course almost all of the air might the US has to offer. Used for logistics as well
US Marines- See all the above, Based off of Naval ships called Gator Freighters, you can break the Marine Corps down like this Infantry, and Air. Only branch of the service that is almost 100% self supported. Does everything that the army, and navy does on a smaller scale. Smallest branch of the service.
US Coast Guard- Falls under the department of transportation, referred to as puddle pirates. Think Navy without the cool stuff. Rescues, and performs sea interdictions of smugglers and the like.

All branches have a reserve component, and the National Guard is the Army no matter what anyone tells you.

Answer 5

The sond answer is almost correct, but you left out the Armed forces Reserve. EAch branch as it(except the National Gaurd) has is own reserve. Also the border partol is considered part of the armed forces since they are operated by the Dept of Denfense

Answer 6

Navy= typiclly battleships and submarines still has its amphibious special forces (navy seals) and some planes
Army= grunt work basiclly considered the lowlifes of the military but easiest to get into. has paratroopers special forces (Rangers) and regular infantry
Marines= more trained then army harder to get into much of the same duties (dont know much about these)
Air Force= fly planes, airdrops, fighter planes, bombing runs, special forces fly the F15 and they are the Aces
Coast Guard= (if you want to call it a branch of the military) rescues on our seas
hope this helped
