Well, I must say that I only know of five branches of the U.S. military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard), but the President is commander-in-chief of all of them. If you include the National Guard as a branch of the military, then the President becomes commander-in-chief of them when they are called into federal service.
