Military

The term “military” refers to the organized forces of a country or nation that are responsible for the defense and protection of its sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national interests. It encompasses various branches, such as the army, navy, air force, and sometimes additional forces like marines and coast guards. The military is typically tasked with conducting warfare, maintaining peace, participating in international missions, and supporting civil authorities during emergencies. It involves a hierarchy of command and a structure that includes both professional and volunteer personnel, who may receive extensive training in combat, strategy, logistics, and specialized skills. The term can also refer more broadly to anything relating to armed forces, military policies, operations, and culture.
