Military and Army are different words; most people assume they are the same; however, there is a clear difference between these two words.

The word “military” is derived from the Latin word “militaris,” which means “soldier.” The military is a common word used to explain the whole armed forces of a country or state. It is a powerful unit that is in charge of the nation’s security and enforcing rules in the nation.

The word “army” is a large military force that is concerned mainly with the ground or land; they are referred to as the land-based unit the word army is derived from a Latin word “armata” that means “armed force” other military subsets include Navy is the country entire sea force which includes the ships and personnel, Airforce a subset of the military that is devoted to air warfare, Marine is a special force that is in charge of the amphibious operations, and so on.

There are some people who assume that the military and the army are the same, but actually, they are a bit different from each other. When you say military, this is a term that is used to describe the armed forces of the country or the state.

When you say army, this is one of the subsets of the military that may be sent out on a mission or is working on a specific task. The military will be working on anything that has to do with protecting the country and doing other soldier duties. The army will be set out to do anything that is related to things that will be done on land.
