The Army began its linage on June 14, 1775, when the Second Continental Congress created the Continental Army in order to combine the 13 American colonies and fight the British forces ().

There are many things that contribute to the US Army’s status as a profession. The US Army relies heavily on patriotism and positive public opinion to maintain its status as a profession. The US Army currently sustains its enlistment levels solely through volunteers from the general population. Throughout history the draft has been initiated very rarely in order to augment the ranks. Congress approves the funding and benefits that make the US Army a viable profession for those US citizens who volunteer to serve. Without adequate financial support, many soldiers could not afford to volunteer to serve. The public must trust that military and congressional leaders will utilize the Army, comprised of the sons and daughters who volunteered to serve, in moral and ethical ways and for purposes that support only the best interests of the United States. If Army soldiers and their leaders’ acts in reprehensible ways that destroy the trust and confidence the public places in this profession, the status of the Army stands at risk of declining.

The American military forces mainly targeted the Republican Guard and its armor, especially in attempts to advance into Baghdad. Through the use of airpower and ground troops, military successfully destroyed of the Republican Guard. However, the destruction of the Republican Guard proved to be costly mistake since it permitted foreign terrorists to enter Iraq and prolonged the war to nearly 9 years. Consequently, American ended up fighting a counter insurgency war in Iraq instead of regular military conflict. Despite of America's capture of Baghdad in the early stages of the war, the battle prolonged for 9 years because of the entrance of foreign terrorists and emergence of counter insurgency war.
