I know this has been asked, but I'm asking in regards to the show ABC "duel". There was a question, how many branches are in the military & government combined? They gave the answer as executive, judiciary, congress, and then navy, army, marines, air force, and coast guard.
Couldn't it be argued that the Coast Guard and Marines fall under the Navy? Sounds pretty vague to me.

It does seem more vague than the silly show "duel" makes it out to be. I would be upset if I got this one wrong on the show. Haha.

Nothing vague about it-four branches of military service: U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S.Marine Corps, and U.S. Air Force. The Marine Corps is under the Department of the Navy and not the military branch U.S. Navy; all four branches are part of the Department of Defense. The U.S. Coast Guard is not part of the Department of Defense and is not a military service-it belongs to the Department of Homeland Security. In times of war the U.S. Coast Guard can be transferred back to the Department of Defense and it will be a military service until it leaves the Department of Defense. In actuality the answer they gave is wrong since they counted the Coast Guard as part of the military.

There are three "branches" in the US Military. The US Army, US Air Force and US Navy. During a declared time of war the Coast Guard is the 4th branch. The US Marines fall under the Navy. (MARINES = My A** Rides In Navy Equipment Sir).
In the US Government there is the Legislative, Judiciary, and Executive branches. If you are looking to break those down into different departments best of luck. Try www.usa.gov

Here are the branches. The Marine Corps is part of the Navy Department. The Coast Guard is now part of the Department of Homeland Security. It is only part of the Navy during a World War:
United States Army
United States Navy
United States Marine Corps
United States Air Force
United States Coast Guard
National Guard
Air National Guard.
Army Reserve
Navy Reserve
Marine Corps Reserve
Air Force Reserve
Coast Guard Reserve.
The branches I listed are those recognized by the Department of Defense, not by the American Broadcasting Company or the show "Duel".

Navy signs the Marine's paychecks, but they serve entirely different purposes. I'm in the Navy, but I respect the Marines much more. Coast Guard tend to stay within US boundaries. Navy and Marines (Army and Air Force too) are a world-wide military force.

No, the Coast Gaurd is part of the Dept. of Homeland Security and considered a military organization, but not DoD. It becomes part of the DoN when war has been "declared" only.
Yes the USMC is part of the Dept. of the Navy, but are considered a seperate branch, that is why the have a seat on the Joint Chiefs.

The Marines are a part of the Navy. The Coast Guard is NOT part of the Navy. There is nothing to argue.

The Coast Guard is not considered a part of the military. And while the Marines covered under the Department of the Navy, they are their own entity.
