Our Branches of the Military 際際滷show is a great way to introduce your students to the branches of the military. It is 10 slides long and gives a general overview of the Department of Defense along with images showing the Pentagon. Each branch is described, defined, and briefly summarized. I use this slideshow to guide students through filling out the graphic organizer. Students may want to research each branch to give a deeper explanation of the levels of power and training that participants go through. In that case, be sure to use the Branches of Military Project Book.

What are the Branches of the Military? Created by Marie @ The Homeschool Daily
The Department of Defense (DOD) is responsible for military operations and is led by the Secretary of Defense who is a civilian appointed by the President. Each branch is headed by a military 4-star general or admiral. These leaders make up the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Pentagon is the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense (DoD).
The armed forces of the United States include the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard. The Army National Guard and the Air National Guard are reserve components of their services and operate in part under state authority.
The Army is the largest branch of the military. It conducts combat missions on land. The Army was first created in 1775 to fight against the British in the American Revolution. It is the oldest branch of the military. Infantry or foot soldiers use guns and tanks to fight against enemies in war. Army

The Marine Corps (USMC) is a specialized division of the Navy. They conduct amphibious land, sea, and air missions that support other branches of the military. The Marine Corps is often considered the toughest branch of the military both physically and mentally. Its rigorous basic training, also known as boot camp, lasts 13 weeks. Marine Corps
The Coast Guard is a military branch that protects the maritime environment and national security. Their missions include search and rescue, law enforcement, coastal defense, and protecting marine resources. The Coast Guard enforces U.S. and international laws, regulates and inspects vessels, and responds to incidents. Coast Guard

The Air Force was originally part of the US Army but became a separate branch in 1947. The air forces aircraft includes fighters, bombers, helicopters, transport planes, and reconnaissance craft. Fighter jets are designed to fly fast and change direction quickly. They carry weapons like missiles and machine guns. Air Force
