  • Basic Branches of the United States Army Basic Branch Information After
    Basic Branches of the United States Army Basic Branch Information After graduation from ROTC Advanced Camp and before commissioning, cadets make the most important decision of their emerging Army career ­ which branch to serve in. The reasons for choosing a branch are varied and personal. The choice can based on the desire to use the academic credentials gained while at school or simply a desire to do something exciting. The 16 basic branches available to cadets are all important to the total Army force and each cannot function without the other. Adjutant General ­ To plan, develop, and direct systems for managing the Army's personnel, administrative, and Army band systems. These systems impact on unit readiness, morale, and soldier career satisfaction, and cover the life cycle management of all Army personnel. Air Defense Artillery ­ The primary mission will be to protect the force and critical tactical and geopolitical assets. This important task is made especially challenging by the evolution of modern tactical ballistic missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles and aircraft. Armor/Cavalry ­ The heritage and spirit of the United States Calvary lives today in Armor. And although the horse has been replaced by 60 tons of steel driven by 1,500HP engine, the dash and daring of the Horse Calvary still reside in Armor. Today, the Armor branch of the Army (which includes Armored Calvary), is one of the Army's most versatile combat arms. It’s continually evolving to meet worldwide challenges and potential threats. Aviation­ One of the most exciting and capable elements of the Combined Arms Team. As the only branch of the Army that operates in the third dimension of the battlefield, Aviation plays a key role by performing a wide range of missions under diverse conditions.

Additionally, how does that relate to the Army’s military culture, and strategic environment? Primary research of the Infantry, Armor, and Artillery’s professional journals is used to understand how intra-organizational units’ conceptualizations of warfare related and interacted with the international system, the American national security apparatus, and the Army’s military culture.

Gates announced yesterday that the President has nominated Lt. Gen. James D. Thurman, commander of V Corps here, to become the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-3/5/7, U.S. Army, Washington, D.C. The nomination has to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate. General Thurman has been commander of V Corps since January this year. V Corps serves the U.S. European Command and is the United States Army's only forward-deployed corps headquarters. With more than 25,000 soldiers and civilians, V Corps is the Army's contingency force for European and Central Command missions and stands ready to deploy from its bases in Europe to Central and Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, Africa, the Middle East and the Persian Gulf. During his command, Thurman used his experience gained during command in Iraq to improve readiness and training of deploying units. He was also instrumental in starting the transformation of the current military structures to create an operational corps-level joint deployable headquarters. If confirmed by the Senate, Thurman will be leaving Germany to head the Army G-3/5/7 which has the Army General Staff responsibility for strategy formulation, overall force development, individual and unit training policy, the functional aspects of strategic and tactical command and control systems, nuclear and chemical matters, and establishing requirements and priorities for the employment and sustenance of Army forces.
