On June 14, 1775, the United States Army was born when the Continental Congress assumed control of the New England army. Formed in 1775 by an act of the Continental Congress, the Army has grown from a ragtag group of state militias to one of the strongest combat forces in history.
\nTechnically, the U.S. Army is older than the country it serves. Americans celebrate the birth of their nation on July 4, 1776, but the Army is actually the country\u2019s \u201cbig brother.\u201d Which makes sense, considering the Continental Army of 1775 \u2014 led by future President George Washington \u2014 needed to start beating the British in the colonies so Thomas Jefferson could finally get some time to write.<\/p>\n

Before the Army was established, colonists were organized into rag-tag militias with no real structure or unified chain-of-command. But in the spring of 1775, most wanted to attack the British near Boston but knew they needed more structure to confront the professional soldiers on the other side. That\u2019s where the official birth of the Army came in, on June 14, 1775, through a resolution from the Continental Congress.<\/p>\n

The next day, George Washington was appointed as commander-in-chief of the new Army, and took command of his troops in Boston on July 3, 1775, according to the Army History Division.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
