6U.S Army, A History
- The modern Army had 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 Revolutionary War.
Congress created the United States Army on June
14, 1784 after the end of the war to replace the

that force

military regulations, policies, and federal law,

United States Armed Forces, and if so, what jobs
you may qualify for, under individual service
regulations. Your Recruiter will do some MEPS
prescreening and once that clears, an appointment
with your local MEPS can be made. A day at MEPS
can and will be a long day of testing and
