Today, in 1775, the Army was born.
It wasn't the United States Army, for there were not yet a United States.
At this point it was just an authorization for Infantry.
Two days later it was found necessary to add an Adjutant General Corps...
When thinking about this, consider that a medical corps wasn't added until July and artillery wasn't added until November. They needed lawyers before they needed cannon and horses.
Grunts, what can you do?
