The US Army, unlike all other armies in this world, is completely mechanized, the Pentomic doctrine which had been envisioned for an atomic battlefield and has been replaced by the old doctrines of the Korean War given the lack for now of atomic devices in this world, the helicopter branch is selling studied given the great distances in this world

But the majority of the fighter force is still made up of Korean War veteran F-86s, but new planes are starting to take their place.

Navy: 1.140.693 sailors on active duty
The US Navy used to be the largest navy in our land but is now a little underpowered for the new world, but with the new Manila project the navy is recalling all the strength it kept in reserve fleets which for now contain more than 2000 ships but which in 1959 will contain 0 ships and is preparing to accept many hundreds of new ships which Congress has accepted the construction for fiscal year 1959
