The UN does not have its own army, nor does it have any permanent armed forces. The UN relies on its national members to approve the formation of an armed force and then to commit national resources to operate as a UN force. The preferred title is "peacekeeping force" rather than an army as their main objective is to maintain a peace.

UN armed forces usually wear the blue helmet that identifies UN troops.

yes but it is usually refered to as the United States military (joking only slightly). If the UN participates in a conflict they will form a coalition, usually the soldiers will be marked as UN but will have the flags of their own nations on their shoulders. But no they do not have a military that is the United nations army or any thing.
