    It was Hill that used "US Military protocol"... writing "US army" would properly be more correct... I really don't know much about the federal navy.


    By reading regulation, the OR and other sources...
    Here in the states...where its our military, we call it the Army. or Marines or which ever branch it is. We don't always add US in front of it. US Military protocol is different for each individual branch. Right down to when you salute and when you don't.

    I believe Mr Aagaard is writing with reference to the 1860s.

    A lot of the protocol the Naval services uses from back then up until now has not changed much with a few exceptions that are prudent due to advancements in technology.

    Thanks for necroing this thread, it caused me to re-read some of it.

    This part in particular :

    This would be an incorrect statement. All of the American Air Forces were actually branches of the Army til after (or during,) ww2. And since Dr. Thaddeus Lowe was experimenting with his balloons during the course of the American Civil War, one could say that the Army Air Corps got its initial start, and recognition.

    So much so, that as difficult as it was to acquire the chemicals, the Confederate Military replicated Lowe's balloons, (albiet, I've only heard of one CSA balloon.)
