The birthdate of the US Army is 14 June 1775.
The birthdate of the US Navy is 13 October 1775, and it was disbanded in 1790, then re-established in 1797.
The US Army is the oldest, and most continuous branch of the United States military (much to the dismay of the other three branches).

How long do people serve in the National Guard?
See website: US National Guard. Note: Even though the National Guard is a STATE military, it is still governed by the US Federal Government. The commander in chief for the state National Guard is their respective state Governor, but if the Governor violates Federal Law, then the Guard can be activated (mobilized) as a Federal US Army unit. This prevents one state from going to war with another state; for example Arizona doing battle with California; or Texas going to war with Oklahoma. During the 1930's the governor of Arizona was going to use his Arizona Army (National Guard) to commence war against the US Government over water rights (a dam construction project). If that would have occurred, the US would simply activate the Arizona Army Guard, thus making them a regular US Army unit. Governor Wallace used his Alabama Army (National Guard) to enforce Alabama segregation laws in the 1960's; the US government activated his Alabama Guard, making them a US Army unit, and reversed Governor Wallace's orders.

Do we say reserve private at the army or reservist private at the army?
The US Army consists of three armies: Regular Army, Army Reserves, and the Army National Guard. The US Air Force has the same organization. The USN & USMC do not; they only have reserves. For the Army & Air Force; the AIR National Guard and the ARMY National Guard are (and/or were up until the US Civil War) separate forces at one time; they were the STATE MILITIAS under the command and control of the GOVERNOR of the state that they belonged to. Example: During the US Civil War you might read during some battles (examples only) about the "35th Mississippi engaging the 46th New York at such and such place." AFTER the US Civil War, those names wouldn't be used...they'd say, as an example: "69th US Armor engaging the 202nd NVA Armor" (actual units engaged during the Vietnam War), but the 69th wouldn't mention a state...just the army itself...the US. Post US Civil War...the Army National Guard became the US National Guard so that "states" wouldn't fight each other again. Even though the Guard is still officially under the "C & C" (command & control) of the Governor, if he goes against the US government, as Arizona threatened to do in the 1930's over a dam project (water project); and Governor Wallace of Alabama actually mobilized his Alabama Army National Guard during a Civil Rights action in the 1960's, the US government can (and did in Wallace's case) activate the Guard unit into the REGULAR ARMY, this is a safety measure to prevent another civil war. Therefore, ALL US Army Reservists, Guardsmen, and US Army Regulars are US Soldiers: Privates, Private First Class, Specialists, Sergeants, etc. If you look at their uniforms they will ALL SAY US ARMY on them. None will say US Army Reserves or National Guard. Only on paper (orders: sometimes) will designations be so marked: Jones (USAR) or Jones (ANG or ARNG). Bottom line: Unless they were West Pointers or otherwise had received an "RA" commission, all US Army officers in Vietnam were Reserve/Guard officers on active duty. Upon completion of their tour of duty...they were returned to Army Reserve/Guard status and sent home.

Is the National Guard a branch of military?
Their status as a militia can be an issue of debate. However, as far as the technical aspects go, they are a militia in the sense that they are not a regular military formation, and that they can be called to serve the needs of non-federal entities. The Militia Act of 1903 defined the National Guard as the organisedmilitia, with other militia entities being the unorganisedmilitia.A number of bills have been passed in the years since 1903 which have further separated the National Guard from the Constitutional definition of a militia, such as the National Defence Act of 1916 (which merged the National Guard into the US Army, and established the National Guard as the primary reserve force of the US Army, rather than the Army Reserve), and the Total Force Policy of 1974, which effectively defined the Regular Army, Army Reserve, and Army National Guard as one entity.But, until the Supreme Court rules otherwise (which is highly unlikely), the Militia Act of 1903 stands.
