U.S. Department of State US Marine Corps | Marine Recruiting Security Treaty Between the United States and Japan; September 8, 1951 Security Treaty Between the United States and Japan; September 8, 1951 (1) Japan has this day signed a Treaty of Peace with the Allied Powers.(2) On the coming into force of that Treaty, Japan will not have the effective means to exercise its inherent right of self-defense because it has been disarmed. There is danger to Japan in this situation because irresponsible militarism has not yet been driven from the world. Therefore Japan desires a Security Treaty with the United States of America to come into force simultaneously with the Treaty of Peace between the United States of America and Japan. The Treaty of Peace recognizes that Japan as a sovereign nation has the right to enter into collective security arrangements, and further, the Charter of the United Nations recognizes that all nations possess an inherent right of individual and collective self-defense. Accordingly, the two countries have agreed as follows: IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned Plenipotentiaries have signed this Treaty.

United States Armed Forces The United States Armed Forces[5] are the federal armed forces of the United States. They consist of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard.[6] The President of the United States is the military's overall head, and helps form military policy with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), a federal executive department, acting as the principal organ by which military policy is carried out. From the time of its inception, the military played a decisive role in the history of the United States. A sense of national unity and identity was forged as a result of victory in the First Barbary War and the Second Barbary War. The U.S. military is the largest military in the world in terms of number of personnel. History[edit] The history of the U.S. military dates to 1775, even before the Declaration of Independence marked the establishment of the United States. Command structure[edit] Budget[edit] U.S. military spending from 1910 to 2007, adjusted for inflation to 2003 dollars.
