Now the united states has the Army, the Navy, Navy Seals, Marines and other special operation units.

Beginning with the 13 colonies soon the become the United States. The Revolutionary War was the first war fought with a United states military. The Revolutionary war began in 1775, starting with the battle of Lexington and Concord. The British Military was beginning to hear of the colonies trying to revolt against the King.

No rebel forces were present in this time till now. The two forces met at Lexington, the British forces not expecting to see a rebel force were instructed to destroy any rebel force. The British force commanded by Major Pitcairn tried to surround and disarm the rebels.
The rebel forces led by John Parker were ordered to flee. As the rebels fled a shot was fired, “the shot heard around the world” this led to eight deaths and ten wounded. After the shots fired at Lexington British forces pushed toward Concord. On the push the British were met by rebels now more ready than before, firing back and making the British forces flee back to Boston.
