"Regular Army" & "National Army"

[edit]

This article makes unsourced suggestions that the "Regular Army" and "National Army" are legally distinct from the "United States Army". Farside268 (talk) 19:28, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

They are legally codified components of the United States Army as a whole. The National Army was the draft force during World War II. Page 21 of this document spells it out nicely [1]. -O.R.Comms 22:01, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

21st Century

[edit]

Individual history’s of conflicts in different countries can be added. It doesn’t seem fair to reduce what the Army has done in the last 21 years to five paragraphs. CarricoHayden08 (talk) 17:50, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

[edit]

It seems to me that citations are missing throughout the article. The first citation doesn’t show up until the middle of the second paragraph. CarricoHayden08 (talk) 17:51, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed new article on social history of soldiers and veterans

[edit]

This article is pretty good, but to supplement it I propose adding a separate new article on "Soldiers and veterans in United States history" -- it would emphasize the social history of the soldier. This article is the view from the top commanders; I think the typical officer, enlisted & veteran experience needs more coverage. Who joined, why did they join, what did they learn, how did it shape their lives and society? the social history from the last 50 years is large. How were Blacks and women fitted in? The outline I propose looks something like this--what should I add or change? Any comments? 1. Colonial-- English colonial policy; Southern colonies; New England; Mid-Atlantic; wars with France & Spain & Indians; 2. American Revolution; Continental Army; Steuben & European methods; State militia; loyalists. 3. New nation; Veterans land benefits; Peacetime Army; bureau system;. Indian wars; International wars. Military academies. 4. Civil War and Reconstruction; Union Army; Confederate army; Conscription & bonus system; Black soldiers; Reconstruction roles. 5. 1877 to 1917: Veterans and GAR; Climax of Indian wars; War with Spain & Philippines; Root reforms; National Guard replaces militia; intervention in banana republics. 6. World War I: Conscription; Medical services expand. 7. Interwar: Veteran bonus; Technical training; Army runs CCC; Air Corps expands; Army Reserves; ROTC. 8. World War II: Selective Service; Marine Corps roles; Air Force independence; Women’s roles. 9. Cold War: GI Bill; Defense Department; Racial integration of the army; use in Deep South; NATO; Korean War; bases across the world; Vietnam; Antiwar activism; Voluntary army. 10. Recent: Afghanistan, Iraq; New roles for women- Bibliography. -Rjensen (talk) 17:35, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
