Who is trained to risk their life in the name of their country Who is prepared - photo 3

Who is trained to risk their life in the name of their country? Who is prepared to use weapons to defend and protect others? Who will go on long tours of duty, far from home, living in rough-and-ready conditions? The answer to all these questions is the men and women in the army.

The army is the land-based branch of the military or armed forces. The other main branches of the armed forces are the air force and navy. All areas of the armed forces work together, but each one has a separate role, and their men and women have expertise in keeping their country and people safe.

The men and women who join the army are responsible for protecting civilians from any threats on land and for fighting enemy forces on land. Armies use troops on the ground that are supported by tanks, helicopters, and weapons.

This book takes you inside the army, looking at what it takes to join the army, what the army does and why, and what it means for the country. It looks at the challenges faced by soldiers around the globe, and the part they have played in shaping our world.

Who Joins the Army?

The men and women who join the army love the unexpected, working in different places, and having a career in which no day is the same. The army, during peacetime or a conflict, is hard work but rewarding.

An army is a huge organization. In the United States, the armyis made up of more than 675,000 soldiers, with nearly 190,000in the Army Reserve. The Army Reserve is made up of men andwomen who train for the army but keep their civilian jobs. Theymay be called to action if there is a war. Officers lead and giveorders to enlisted soldiers, and are responsible for their safety.Enlisted soldiers carry out orders and perform specific duties.They can work their way up to become noncommissionedofficers. People with specific qualifications and skillscan join the army as commissioned officers.

Today, in manyof the worldsarmies, womenhave opportunitiesin combat rolessimilar to thoseof male soldiers.
