"Hooah!"
My name is Drew Beckham. I was born in Chicago IL and have lived in South Carolina for over 8 years. I graduated in May 2008 from the College of Charleston with a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology and an interdisciplinary minor in Archaeology. Currently I am cross enrolled in both the College of Charleston for continued education and The Citadel MBA Program. I currently serve in the South Carolina Guard as a Brigade Operations Sergeant while concurrently working to complete the Army ROTC program at The Citadel.
The United States Army is the branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for land-based military operations. It is the largest and oldest established branch of the U.S. military and is one of seven uniformed services. The modern Army has its roots in the Continental Army which was formed on June 14, 1775, before the establishment of the United States, to meet the demands of the American Revolutionary War. Congress created the United States Army on June 14, 1784 after the end of the war to replace the disbanded Continental Army. The Army considers itself to be descended from the Continental Army, and thus dates its inception from the origins of that force.
