00:03.855 --> 00:06.585
While there have been plenty of movies about our armed forces,

00:06.585 --> 00:09.635
most tend to exaggerate what our military does day in and day out.

00:09.875 --> 00:12.325
Here's the real scoop about the Department of Defense

00:12.325 --> 00:14.445
and how our military keeps you safe.

00:14.445 --> 00:17.000
There are five separate branches in the military

00:17.000 --> 00:19.220
made up of more than 2 million men and women.

00:19.220 --> 00:24.040
The Army, the largest of the five, has as many people as the entire population of Atlanta.

00:24.440 --> 00:27.140
Their job is to fight and win our nation's wars.

00:27.300 --> 00:30.555
To do this, they use people, tanks, helicopters and vehicles

00:30.560 --> 00:33.235
to fight and defeat bad guys on land.

00:33.240 --> 00:35.780
Then there's the Navy. It's all about the water.

00:35.780 --> 00:39.100
They work on it, above it and below it. They keep the seas free and safe.

00:39.560 --> 00:42.120
Free so things like food, electronics and cars

00:42.120 --> 00:44.500
can travel to and from other countries.

00:44.500 --> 00:47.560
Safe so the enemy can't use the sea to do us harm here at home.

00:48.520 --> 00:51.160
The Marine Corps, a bad guy's worst nightmare.

00:51.360 --> 00:54.240
Part of the Department of the Navy, Marines come from sea and air

00:54.240 --> 00:58.080
to fight adversaries on land, and they are very, very good at it.

00:58.080 --> 01:03.160
As they like to say, no better friend and no worse enemy than a United States Marine.

01:03.920 --> 01:06.740
The Air Force. Their job is to fly, fight, and win

01:06.780 --> 01:09.120
in the air, space, and cyberspace.

01:09.120 --> 01:12.780
They keep us safe here at home by making sure no one surprises us,

01:12.800 --> 01:17.160
and they play an important role in fighting bad guys all around the world.

01:17.160 --> 01:20.660
The Coast Guard. A drug dealer's worst enemy and a boater's best friend.

01:20.660 --> 01:24.620
It's the Coast Guard that usually catches bad guys trying to smuggle things in

01:24.620 --> 01:25.760
or out of the country.

01:26.440 --> 01:29.420
Along with the Navy, they use their boats, planes, and helicopters

01:29.440 --> 01:32.760
to keep the bad guys from using the sea for illegal purposes.

01:32.760 --> 01:35.640
Our troops are deployed around the world at all times so

01:35.660 --> 01:38.120
you can work prosperously and sleep peacefully.

01:38.120 --> 01:41.180
And of course, we don't fight bad guys alone.

01:41.180 --> 01:44.020
We get help from our partners and allies all around the globe.

01:44.200 --> 01:46.420
Our military is doing amazing work

01:46.500 --> 01:48.860
with unbelievable jobs available to those who serve.

01:49.020 --> 01:51.380
From air traffic controllers to meteorologists

01:51.385 --> 01:53.915
to gourmet chefs and even rocket scientists.
