According to game theory for nuclear war you need credible deterrence to avoid being attacked, and I think that translates well to conventional warfare; if you are perceived as weak militarily you are much more likely to be attack or otherwise bullied or exploited. The exception is asymmetrical warfare, where an army/country is attacked BECAUSE it has a so massive military that conventional battles are impossible to win for the opposition, so the combatants melt into the terrain and becomes an insurgency.
Disarmament would be nice, but it cannot happen if not everyone agrees on doing it, because then you will end up with a world where the strongest powers are rogue states.
That is why any nation needs a military if not for waging aggressive war.

Washington had his army occupy the heights over Boston. His army could attack the British army from two different directions, so the British had to divide their forces to defend their position.

Who goes in first in combat army or marines?
Typically, it is the Marines. Marine Expeditionary Units (MEU) are aboard naval ships throughout the world always on standby should they be needed at a moments notice. There is no "first" in as many would have you believe. It depends on the mission and need. I would say Special Operation forces are probably the first in anywhere, be it Navy Seals or Green Berets. As for the whole MEU statement a ship cannot travel faster than a plane and Airborne units can deploy pretty much anywhere in the world faster than any ship bound forces.
