The United States Army (USA) is the primary land service branch of the United States Department of Defense.
Organization
Operational Force
The U.S. Army's Earth-based operational force before the theater service component-level consists of 5 active corps (I Corps, III Corps, V Corps, VII Airmobile Corps, XIV Corps) controlling 15 active duty divisions, 9 Army National Guard divisions, and many separate combat commands, brigades, and regiments. During peacetime, forces forward deployed or rotated to China, Japan, and Southeast Asia come under the command of the Sixth Army as the theater-level service component command. Corps stationed in the United States remain under the administration of the Eighth Army. During wartime, corps designated as "Reforc Corps A and B" (I Corps and III Corps) and the forward deployed corps in China (IX Corps) would come under the Sixth Army while any other follow-on forces would come under the Eighth Army and any other mobilized commands depending on the scale of conflict. Alternatively, if a large-scale conflict occurs outside of the Pacific area, Eighth Army can deploy as the Army's service component command to that theater.
In addition, the Army bases the 12th Infantry Division on the Moon (including two lunar Army National Guard regiments) directly under the Second Army. The Second Army commands all exoatmospheric army units, including space elevator terminal battalions, separate battalions and companies stationed on the lunar surface, and units conducting space station and asteroid operations.

This includes all units designated for the initial training of units, national training centers, doctrine developers, and domestic installation commands. In addition to the 5 corps of the Operational Force, there are 4 corps part of the Army Organized Reserve with oversight of 20 cadre divisions to be expanded with draftees upon mobilization. These corps exist under the Generating Force and are aligned to geographically close groupings of states from which they draw draftees during mobilization.
