Under the command of the Department of the Defense, there are four different branches of the armed forces; however, the Coast Guard is under the command of the Department of Homeland Security. The four different branches are the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, and the Marine Corps. Each branch is required a different role in securing our nation. Even though the Marines are the smallest of the four branches, they are a highly mobile amphibious attack force. Not only are they trained to attack from water and to secure an area on foreign soil but also for rapid deployment. Also, the Marines are usually the first Unites States Military personnel on site.
