The United States Army is the main branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for land-based military operations. It is the largest and oldest established branch of the U.S. military, and is one of seven U.S. uniformed services. The modern army has its roots in the Continental Army which was formed on June 14th, 1775, before the establishment of the United States, to meet the demands of the American Revolutionary War. The Congress of the Confederation officially created the United States Army on June 3rd, 1784 after the end of the Revolutionary War to replace the disbanded Continental Army. The army considers itself to be descended from the Continental Army and thus dates its inception from the origins of that force.

The United States Air Force plays heavily in the realm of science fiction, particularly mediums that involve large scale military or extraterrestrial incursions upon US soil.

In fiction[]

This section needs to be expanded to conform to a higher standard of quality..

The United States Army is generally called to duty during times of national, even planetwide crisis. In the 2009 disaster movie 2012, the US Army and the other branches of the Armed Forces helped American citizens in an attempt to survive a series of earthquakes and volcanic activity that was devastating the entire country.

Planet of the Apes[]

In the 1971 film Escape from the Planet of the Apes, the United States Army was present when a US space vessel returned to Earth carrying three talking chimpanzees who had arrived from the distant future.

Space Odyssey[]

In the continued non-canon adventures of the Space Odyssey mythos, the United States Army were tasked with wiping out the X-series of robots, which had all gone insane. Leading this campaign was Colonel Simon Kragg. During the initial rebellion, Kragg lost an eye, but succeeded in eliminating X-1 through X-50. A robot known as X-51 managed to survive and became known as Machine Man.
