"There was no organization called the US Continental Army because the United States hadn't been formed when the Continental Army was assembled."
Optionally:
"George Washington was a General in the Continental Army."
The modern Army has its roots in the Continental Army which was formed on June 14, 1775, before the establishment of the United States, to meet the demands of the American Revolutinary War. Congress created the United States Army on June 14, 1784 after the end of the war to replace the disbanded Continental Army. The Army considers itself to be descended from the Continental Army and thus dates its inception from the origins of that force.
There were eleven "field armies" in the US Army during WWII. Of these two, the Second US Army and the Fourth US Army, remained in the continental US throughout the war, functioning as training commands. Additionally the 4th US Army was responsible for defending the west coast of the US against attack.
The U.S. Army came into being on 14 June 1775. The U.S. Marine were established on 10 November 1775. The Navy was established on 13 October 1775. The Coast Guard was formed on 4 August 1790. The U.S. Air Force became a separate service on 18 September 1947.

The US Army, like the US Department of Defense, is supported by the tax payer. The US Army Corp of Engineers is part of the US Army; just like the US Army Artillery, or US Army Armor, or US Army Infantry.

The Continental Army.
The commander of the US army met a gathering of native American chiefs.
The US Army and US Navy didn't exist back then. So everything was called the "Continental Army" and probably the "Continental Navy and Marine Corps."
General George Washington was the Commanding General of the Continental Army
Although not the US Army at that time in 1775, it was the beginning of the US Army; the United States was the 13 Colonies of (North) America back then.
The first war that involved the US Army was the war of 1812. The Continental Army fought against Britain in the Revolutionary War.
I am using the word sortie in a sentence right now, but... You can use sortie as a verb or a noun: The general wanted us to sortie the opposing army.
The US Army had a hard time overcoming the doggedness of Chief Joseph's warriors.
George Washington
No. The Continental army that fought the British was organized under a confederacy of colonies (later becoming states under the articles of confederation). The Union army wasn't born until the US constitution was ratified in 1787.
