BronzeEagle 2 Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) the four branches of the military represent the four areas: beach, air, land, and the sea. the air force is responsible for securing the airspace marines secure the coasts making sure noone can escape by boat or just loading supplies to force an enemy out whichever. marine expeditionary units are marine units tasked with waiting out at sea on call during heightened states of tension the army handles targets the marines haven't reached airborne is a unit that is either dropped in or by chopper, in the old days it was all by parachute. infantry and mechanized infantry arrive either by foot or by vehicle from a base if they're even needed at this point the reason for this is so that inland targets can be secured from escaping as well as anything from the sea, coast on back all at the same time, even the air. when war starts all branches of the military rush to get to their intended targets. the spec ops are generally hit squads in support of whichever branch they serve force recon are marine commandoes unit that handles spec ops for the marines rangers are the army's spec ops, if you see rangers the army isn't far. they usually go hand in hand, but rarely without each other. green berets sneak in and commit to subversion through guerilla warfare. their motto is de opresso liber, to free the oppressed. they usually fight for people who have been oppressed to befriend and fight on their side, or use them for the american agenda and intel. (force multipliers) delta is an army counter terrorist unit. if massive civillian lives are in danger you call in delta. (protect civillians from terrorists) navy now navy seals are navy spec ops. since the navy is usually the first one to react to international situations without war, the seals are the prime candidates. devgru is a navy version of delta, counter terrorists.
