the reasons are partly historical and partly practial. in short each is responable for the area of its own expertise. the army fights on land and the navy on the water. the airforce became a branch when it was decided that it needed to be a seperate force in oeder to fufil its missions. the marines are really a part of the navy. years ao tey had the mission of defending navy bases and capturing new ones as well as acting as shipboard infantry. the coast guard also becomes part of the navy in times of war but also handles lifesaving, safety, and maritime security. there is overlap since all branches need certain things such as aircraft. where it makes sense to have assets under the control of any branch they are given them. the navy needs aircraft to fufill its mission so it has carriers. the army might need boats for supply soit has them. the marines have become our kick in the door landing force and since they do it better than anyone else they are given watever they need. today all fight as a team under the command of the officer in charge of a region. an army general might command both navy ships and airforce planes in order to complete the mission. its not simple but it works and there is very little waste in the system. every asset and mission is carefully thought out and justified.

By 2004 the Army was organized in four corps, with four armored divisions, six infantry divisions, two commando brigades, an airborne brigade and other smaller independent formations. Each Iranian division has a different organization. Only the 92nd Division has enough equipment to be a true armored division, and two of the armored divisions are much larger than the others. The 28th and 84th infantry divisions are much more heavily mechanized than the others. Smaller formations in the army include the 23rd Special Forces Division, established in 1993-1994, and the 55th Paratroop Division. One source reports that the 23rd Special Forces Division is the most professional units in the Iranian Army, with 5,000 regulars soldiers

An "Army" is a group of two or more "Corps".  Sometimes, "Armies" will be part of an "Army Group".\n\nThe name "Army" comes from the original Continental Army, but it has at times included many Armies.  For example, there were 13 Armies, grouped into 3 Army Groups, that took part in the campaign in France circa 1944.

Yes the Army is involved in "field combat" If you watch the news you will see that they are running convoys patrolling the towns.  The Army is involved just as much as the Marines

Durga, these terms may mean different things in different armies. I'll try and throw some light on this using the Indian Army and the Infantry in particular, as an example. We'll start with the smallest sub-unit, an infantry platoon.\n\n1. 1 infantry platoon (Pl)= around 30 men, supposed to be commanded by a Lieutenant, but more often than not, is commanded by a JCO like a Subedar.\n2. 3 or more platoons form a company (Coy)= 90-100 men. The officer commanding (OC) a company is usually a Major but one sees Captains or even Lieutenants officiating as OC most often.\n3. 3 or more companies form an infantry battalion or unit = anywhere between 700 and 1000 men. A battalion has a full Colonel in command and he is known as the Commanding Officer (CO).\n4. 3 or more battalions form a brigade (Bde) = 4000 men approx. It is commanded by a Brigadier and he is the equivalent of a one star general. A bde usually has elements of other arms and services attached to it.\n5. 3 or more brigades form a division (Div) and it is commanded by a Major General.\n6. 3 or more divisions form a corps commanded by a Lieutenant General. Corps may be designated as either holding or strike corps.\n7. Many corps are grouped together under an army command. A command is commanded by a senior Lieutenant General. These army commanders report to Army HQ and the Chief of Army Staff who is a full General.\n\nNotes:\n\nIn the infantry, the term 'regiment' does not denote a particular unit. For eg. Since the Indian infantry was started on a class basis, all battalions that had say.... Maratha soldiers were grouped together to form a regiment called the Maratha Light Infantry.\nEach unit or battalion would be designated as 1 MLI, 2 MLI, 5 MLI etc.... meaning the 1st battalion of the Maratha Light Infantry and so forth.\n\nIn the Armoured Corps and the Artillery and even the Engineers, the term 'regiment' denotes the unit itself. You never have an armoured battalion, the unit is called a Regiment. So 69 Armoured Regiment refers to a whole unit commanded by a Colonel.\n\nI hope all this wasn't too confusing, you can contact me with specific questions if you'd like.
