What military fights the most?

The U.S. Army generally sees the most combat volume due to its size and role in large ground operations, but the Marine Corps often experiences more frequent initial contact as a rapid-response force, while the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are cited for extensive modern combat experience across their forces. The specific branch depends on the conflict's nature (land, air, naval) and mission, with Army infantry engaging in large-scale sustained fighting, Marines handling initial landings and light infantry roles, and other branches like the Air Force or Navy handling air/sea warfare.

Are Rangers or SEALs more elite?

Neither Army Rangers nor Navy SEALs are definitively "more elite"; they are both Tier 1-level special operations forces, but serve distinct roles, with Rangers as specialized light infantry for large-scale raids/airfield seizures and SEALs as maritime-focused commandos for direct action, counterterrorism, and unconventional warfare, each with demanding selection processes and high standards, making them elite in different domains. SEALs are known for longer, more intense training (BUD/S), while Rangers are a unit (75th Regiment) that integrates various Army roles for rapid deployment, differing in their core focus (land vs. sea) and training pipelines.
