Which branch is responsible for maintaining the U.S. Army?

• A. The Legislative Branch
• B. The Judicial Branch
• C. The Executive Branch
• D. The Federal Reserve

Answer: (A)

Maintaining the U.S. Army is handled by the Executive Branch. The President serves as Commander-in-Chief, directing military operations and strategy, and the President appoints the Secretary of Defense who runs the Department of Defense and oversees all branches of the military, including the Army. Congress, part of the Legislative Branch, provides funding and enacts laws that shape military policy, but it does not run day-to-day operations. The Judicial Branch interprets laws, and the Federal Reserve handles monetary policy. So the daily leadership and management of the Army come from the Executive Branch.
