In simple terms, the U.S. Armed Forces are made up of the five armed service branches: Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy. There are three general categories of military people: active duty (full-time soldiers and sailors), reserve & guard forces (usually work a civilian job, but can be called to full-time military duty), and veterans and retirees (past members of the military).
The U.S. Army is the largest branch of the American military. In February 2015, there were approximately 500,000 active-duty Soldiers, and by October 2015, the ranks will be further reduced to under 490,000, the first time the Army has dipped under 500,000 since 9/11.
