The Army is the branch of the United States armed forces that has primary responsibility for land-based military operations. As of fiscal year 2004 (FY04), it consisted of 485,500 soldiers (including 71,400 women) on active duty and 591,000 in reserve (325,000 in the Army National Guard (ARNG) and 246,000 in the United States Army Reserve (USAR)). The Continental Army was formed on June 14, 1775, before the establishment of the United States, to meet the demands of the American Revolutionary War. Congress created the United States Army on June 3, 1784 after the end of the American Revolutionary War, to replace the disbanded Continental Army. However, the US Army considers itself to be an evolution of the Continental Army, and thus dates its inception from the origins of the Continental Army.

We had something along those lines when Selective Service was geared up for Vietnam.  There were too many people, however, so a lottery was established.  Consider the numbers for the US, between ages of 15-64 there are 100 million males, narrowing that by the Census Bureau, there are about 21 million Americans between 20-24, of which there are just shy of 11 million males.\n\nThat's one awful big army.  Sorry, but we don't need it and the rest of the world wouldn't stand for it.  Thanks for thinking though, because the military service during WWI and WWII was one of the great standardizing forces in American education and culture at the time.

That was over 90 years ago and then men who served must be well over 100 years of age. But since it was so long ago, I'm sure the Army's in Europe weren't very organized at the time. And there is little knowledge of who served. But there is less than 50 still living within the US. So I would say maybe around 100 (and that's pushing it!)\nProud Great Grand-Daughter of Cpl.

There are about 31 units in the US Army that trace their history back to the colonial times. Thirty of these units are National Guard and one an active component.  There are 4 units that share the honor of being the oldest units in the US Army.  They are the 1/101 Engineers (ENG), 1/181 Infantry (INF), 1/101 Field Artillery (FA) and 1/182 Infantry (INF).  Each of these units from Massachusetts carry the lineage formed in 1636, so they have the same age and share the honor equally.

twenty is a great number.  the more people you have the cooler looking pyramids and formations you can have. larger squads look very impressive at competitions.

In today's military establishment, there are close to 900 people in uniform with the rank of Brigadier General or above!  This number includes Admirals and I don't have a breakdown of their numbers.
