Which forces make up the Army?

• A. Regular Army, Army Reserve, Army National Guard
• B. Active Duty, National Guard, Marines
• C. Regular Army, Army Reserve
• D. Active Duty, Army Reserve, Army National Guard

Answer: (A)

The Army is made up of three components: Regular Army, Army Reserve, and Army National Guard. The Regular Army (active-duty) is the full‑time, front-line force; the Army Reserve provides part‑time troops that can be called up to active duty; and the Army National Guard is the state-based reserve that can be federalized when needed. The Marines are a separate branch under the Navy, so including them would be incorrect for describing the Army. The option listing Regular Army, Army Reserve, and Army National Guard covers all three Army components, making it the correct choice.
