Which branch of the military U.S. would least likely be one that would be in harms way?

I think the answer is AirForce, but am unsure. It seems the AirForce has bases in places that are less dangerous and also their weapons are more long range type. and of course Marines would be right in the thick of things and the navy ships would have be father away from it all unless you are medical then again you are right in the thick of things and also gone for loner periods out on your ship....any opinions on which branch would be the least dangerous one to be in??

It would be the Navy or Air Force. You cant really say either one, an Air Force fight pilot has a better chance of dieing than Navy Security Forces stationed in the States, but an Airman stationed in the States at a desk is more safe then being on a Nuclear submarine off Iran. |

As a proud member of the US Coast Guard, I must add that in the USCG you are almost always stationed within the US. Very few people go overseas unless they offer to. Quite a few would argue the USCG is not an armed service, but since 9-11 I think most of us can agree that our arms are flexing right now. You still get all the opportunities to shoot guns out of helicopters and boats that you would in any other service, but your job is not to go overseas, but to defend the homeland. My job personally is on a jet doing fisheries police and drug interdiction, and also as a electronics tech in the same airframe. Coast Guard has many opportunites that can send you in almost any direction you want your life to go. You will in almost any case, NEVER go overseas unless you volunteer. Hope I could answer your question.... |

well i guess it all depends on what job in the air force it is, if you're a pilot then thats pretty dangerous, but if you work on the planes then that would be out of harms way, but i think the real answer here, is the Coast Guard. |

While some air force jobs puts them in harms way, they are still the least likely. Just look at the stats in any war. God bless them for the job they do nonetheless.
Edit: (I must stick up for the puddle pirates…)
In consideration of SAR (Search and Rescue) missions, high seas operations and the hostile boarding’s of drug boats Lifecircus.com’s answer of the Coast Guard is extraordinarily misinformed. |

Depends on their job and where they are located.
Anyone who does not think that Navy personnel are in harm's way, ask a corpsman attached to the Marines or a CB. And does anybody remember USS Cole, USS Samuel B. Roberts, or USS Stark? |

The Navy or Coast Guard. No one has a navy capable of touching the U.S.'s, nor the sea-capability to get even close to its shores. The last real U.S. naval engagement, albeit tiny, was back in the 1980's against Iran. |

It is the Air Force but remember that they fly in and out of Baghdad |

Least dangerous? Air Force. |

All branches face plenty of danger daily. The USCG is probably among the most risky in my view. Ever ride a 44 ft boat across the bar at Cape Disappointment? These boats are deigned to roll over for a reason. After that you can board some ships in heavy seas while searching for drugs. The USAF does plenty of dangerous duty theses days too. The airmen I saw at Camp Anaconda were all armed and some do convoy duty, nothing more dangerous than this in my book. Granted few sailors, airmen or coasties kick down doors in Baghdad or Hunt baddies in the mountains of Afghanistan but they still risk it all regularly. |

I think now a days all branches are put into harms way equally. While the Air Force used to be the cushy military branch that stayed in the back light, now a days since the Army is so short handed the Airmen are having to do many in-lieu-of taskings for deployments. Meaning, they are training with the Army, going overseas with the Army and fighting with the Army. As everyone has heard the military life is not for everyone. There is no guarantee with any branch you join that you will not be put into harms way. |

The U.S. Coast guard, but that's going to depend on your MOS. The Coasties get in some pretty thick crap at times too. |
