Enrichment (EN)

Disambiguation: Refers to the collective US military branches and services (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force) organized under the Department of Defense, plus the Coast Guard under DHS. Not to be confused with individual service branches.

The United States Armed Forces comprise six military branches—the Army (established June 14, 1775, predating the Declaration of Independence), Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard—organized under the Department of Defense (created 1947, restructured 1949) and Department of Homeland Security. Serving as the primary instrument of U.S. national defense and foreign policy, the Armed Forces conduct operations across land, maritime, air, space, and law enforcement domains under unified civilian and military leadership. Significantly, the Armed Forces have maintained a documented history of investigating unidentified aerial phenomena, including Projects SIGN, SAUCER, GRUDGE, and BLUE BOOK (1947–1969, recording 12,618 sightings), and recent formal efforts through the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) and the 2026 Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE), through which thousands of declassified military reports, pilot accounts, and investigative records are being publicly released.
