Article IV, section 4 of the Constitution lists guarantees to states. "The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence."
One of the federal government's most important responsibilities to the states is Defense. The Constitution grants the Federal Government the authority to raise an Army to fight wars on land and a Navy to protect American shipping. When the Barbary Pirates were hurting American shipping and costing a fortune, the Navy had to attack the pirate headquarters in Tripoli. They needed a Land Arm, so the Marine Corps was instituted. (Actually, it had a very brief life during the Revolution, but was disbanded very shortly after). That's why the Marine Hymn says "To the shores of Tripoli".
Of course, there were no planes back when the Constitution was written, but the Army formed an Air Corps during WWI, which fought in that war and in WWII. Shortly after WWII, the Army Air Corps became the Air Force.

Federal government is the name for this system of government. Under this system, states get to retain their individual rights and maintain their own governments, but some duties, like currency and defense, are delegated to the federal government, which is elected by all the states working together.The Articles of Confederation was the first document establishing a federal government, in 1781, but the federal government created by that document was far too weak. In 1789, a new, stronger federal government was created by the ratification of the U.S. Constitution.
