- In-game description

The United States Army (US Army) is a playable faction in Squad. This faction is the first conventional army featured in the game.

History
The U.S. Army was founded in 1775 when the thirteen colonies united to form the United States. Throughout the centuries up to and today, the U.S. Army has focused their strengths to defend the U.S. and to protect American interests. The US Army has gained much experience as a result of their extensive participation in warfare, they are also one of the most technologically advanced armies in the world. Weapons are primarily sourced from within the US, but weapons from Europe are used as well. The U.S. Army is the largest branch of the U.S. Armed Forces and participates in many international conflicts: with Iraq and Afghanistan highlighted as the most recent.

Flag
The flag representing the Unites States Army in Squad is the Stars and Stripes. It consists of thirteen red and white equal horizontal stripes (representing the original thirteen colonies) with a blue rectangular canton with 50 stars (representing the states of the U.S.).
