Armed services

The modern armies consist today of the following three armed services:
Depending upon geographical "situation" of a country an army does not have at all the armed service navy and/or. varies the size of this armed service substantially in relation to the army and to the Air Force.
As a last armed service has itself at the beginning 20. Century - causes by the technical progress - which establishes Air Force, which was subordinated before still to the army.
In Germany traditionally the army the largest armed force is, followed of the Air Force and the navy.
Organisation areas
In the course of the present German Federal Armed Forces reform are created in Germany in addition two further independent military organisation areas and/or. extended, those Armed forces basis (SKB) and that Central sanitaetsdienst. These two "querschnittlichen" organisation areas are independently of the armed services, however due to their "only" supporting and not fighting task by definition as an own armed service are not led. Them associated the soldiers career-technically essentially also further by their own armed service are determined. Thus for example also those receive the SKB subordinated army officers further their non-specialized officer training at that Officer school of the army in Dresden.
For the soldiers are subordinated to one of the two organisation areas, gives it also no own uniform, one carries the uniform of the armed service, from which their unit or their federation was separated. As military "homeland" further its actual armed service is considered, also to militaersiche career is considerably the armed service determining. Since it with this soldiers however during the time of the assumption under one of the two organisation areas strengenommen themselves no longer over "army -, Air Force or naval soldiers acts, the designation" uniform carrier army/Air Force/navy was again created ".
Additionally to mentioned already above the armed services it gives in Italy those Carabinieri, in France those and into that that US navy Corps as well as those Coast Guard.
