Not always. There are a few small countries on this planet that have no army and a few others who try to keep the size and expense as minimal as possible. But most countries traditionally have an army. The USA because it sees itself (up to now, at least) as the policeman of the world; many others because they face clear and present danger from insurgents, religious fanatics and/or neighboring countries; others because having an army adds to their standing among fellow countries - or provides them with a useful means of adding pressure in diplomatic conflicts with them.

What makes up the US armed forces?
In general military forces are made up of the citizens of a nation who either volunteer to serve in their forces or are conscripted to serve in the forces. In the US the forces are made up of the enlisted and the commissioned officers and the Secretary of the Armed Forces and the Chief (the President of the US). In the United Kingdom the Royal Forces belong to the Queen of the kingdom and are responsible to her or the King when there is one. The forces consist of enlisted people and the officers and the Admiralty. In Israel the forces are conscripted and there are those who enlist. They too have enlisted, conscripted and commissioned officers. During World War 2 there were also drafted/conscripted men in the forces because they needed millions of men for all the forces. After the Viet Nam War the US chose to have only enlisted personnel and commissioned officers but they reserved the right to enact the draft again if it was necessary. The men have to register for the draft even though they may not ever be drafted. Military forces consist of Naval forces, Aviation forces such as the US Air Force or the Royal Air Force, Army forces, Marine forces, recon forces (special forces), Coast Guard forces, and some countries have special intelligence forces. All these military type forces have their own structures and units. Some countries only have one military because they are too small a country or too poor.
