Since its official establishment, June 14, 1775 — more than a year before the Declaration of Independence — the U.S. Army has played a vital role in the growth and development of the American nation. Drawing on both long-standing militia traditions and recently introduced professional standards, it won the new republic's independence in an arduous eight-year struggle against Great Britain. At times, the Army provided the lone symbol of nationhood around which patriots rallied. Over eighty years ago, the U.S. Army helped lead the charge to liberate Europe in World War II on D-Day. But even beyond the battlefield the Army is a leader. Whether it's the rapid deployment of Soldiers to support disaster relief efforts, working on the cutting edge of technological innovation or building lasting relationships with nations through the State Partnership Program — the Army's positive global impact is undeniable. 2025, army.mil
