Just a curious question that popped into my head - what's the biggest military branch in the U.S., by number of active personnel? Anyone got an idea?
The United States Army is the largest branch of the U.S. military by the number of active personnel. It's followed by the Navy, the Air Force, the Marine Corps, and the Coast Guard. However, keep in mind that the size of a branch doesn't necessarily reflect its capabilities or importance within the defense system. Each one has a unique mandate, role, and responsibility in preserving national security.
