It encompasses the various branches of armed forces, such as the army, navy, air force, and in some nations, marines and special operations forces. The military is responsible for protecting a country’s sovereignty, providing national defense, conducting military operations, and supporting international peacekeeping missions.
The term also extends to the institutional structure, including command hierarchies, strategic planning, logistics, and the implementation of military policy. Additionally, military can refer to the culture, traditions, and practices associated with armed forces, such as discipline, camaraderie, and hierarchy. Engagements can range from combat operations to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
In broader contexts, “military” may also pertain to aspects of organization and strategy applicable in other fields, drawing on the principles of military leadership and tactics.
