The basic military force of the United States of America is the United States Army. The US Marines are part of the Navy. The US Coast Guard was part of the Department of Transportation, now is part of the Homeland Security. The US Air Force and US Navy are "strategic forces" able to conduct war 24-7 around the globe. The US Army CANNOT do that, they are a "tactical force" and depend upon the USAF & USN to transport them where ever they need to go, and provide protection while doing that! But, the Army is still our basic force, as we live on land, and the Army's jurisdiction is the land. During the Vietnam War, there were 3 branches of the US Army's COMBAT ARMS: The number one basic branch which all else supported was the Infantry. The other two were Armor & Artillery (Since Vietnam, the army has changed this arrangement). All other branches of the US Army (Engineers, aviation, transportation, ordnance, military police, administration, etc.) SUPPORTED THOSE THREE COMBAT ARMS! The mission of the Combat Arms Branches of Armor & Artillery was to SUPPORT the Infantry. During Vietnam, Korea, World War 2, World War 1, etc. without the Infantry, there was NO ARMY. The major occupation during the Vietnam War, was the US Army's Infantrymen.
