On June 14, 1775, the U.S. Army was officially established by the Continental Congress. Within a few days, George Washington received his commission as “General and Commander in chief, of the army of the United Colonies, and all the forces now raised, or to be raised, by them…” From now on, the colonies had a united fighting force that represented all 13 of the British colonies in North America.
