Military Units And Formations Of The United States Army National Guard
A military, also known collectively as armed forces, is a heavily armed, highly organized force primarily intended for warfare.

A nation's military may ...

The word may be of Etruscan origin, via the Latin '' caerimonia''. Church and civil (secular) ceremonies According to Dally Messenger and Alain de Botton, in most Western countries the values and ideals articulated in both church and civil ceremonies are generally similar.
