The United States Armed Forces, colloquially known as United States Military or simply The Military by North American individuals, were the unified military forces of the United States. It was formed by the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Coast Guard.[citation needed]
Involvement in the supernatural[]
Unbeknownst to the general public, select circles within the United States military, in conjunction with certain sectors of the US Intelligence Community, were aware of the existence of the supernatural, particularly demons and vampires.[citation needed]
The Initiative was a Sunnydale-based military organization specializing in the capture and study of hostile subterrestrials. Its ultimate goal was harnessing the power of demons to serve the military interests of the United States.[1]
After the deactivation of the Initiative, a sector of the US Military, under the command of Major Ellis, acted as a demon hunting unit in regions such as Central America.[2].
Following the destruction of Sunnydale, various members of the Military, such as General Voll[3] and Lieutenant Molter[4] became affiliated with the Twilight Group, dedicated to end the world in order to bring about a new, better one. In order to further the plans of the Group, General Voll took command of a covert military operation in the remains of Sunnydale.[3] Riley Finn went undercover in the group on Buffy's behalf to investigate this new threat.[5]
