The '''Military''' in [[Grand Theft Auto|GTA]] games are the armed forces of the [[United States of America|USA]], comprising mostly of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. The military themselves don't appear in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], because it enhances realism - the military would not be sent to kill one person, and because the ''Posse Comitatus'' Act prohibits the use of federal military personnel and units of the National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress[http://usacac.army.mil/cac2/CALL/docs/10-16/ch_11.asp]. The army is replaced somewhat by [[NOOSE]]. The military is also important in many missions throughout the series, such as [[Sir, Yes Sir!]], [[Black Project]], [[Green Goo]], [[Up, Up and Away!]], [[Vertical Bird]] and [[Over the Top]].

As seen in the [[Grand Theft Auto Online]] gameplay trailer, the US Army is present in GTA V, identifiable by their urban camouflage fatigues.

A strange thing is that soldiers in the [[Fort Baxter Air Base]] never participate in law enforcement activity; if the player is wearing a [[Cop Uniform|police uniform]] or [[Army Fatigues|army fatigues]] and enters the base with a wanted level; only the law enforcement officers that enter from outside will try killing the player.

===Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars===
After gaining six stars, the Rhino and occasional on-foot military soldier will appear. Soldiers are armed with [[AK-47|AK-47's]] at all times. While encountering an occupied Rhino, the player cannot [[carjack|hijack]] the occupied Rhino. However, there are two ways the Rhino will react depending if the player is on foot or in a vehicle. If the player is in a vehicle, the Rhino will immediately fire at the player's vehicle setting it aflame (but not blow it up giving the chance for the player to [[bail out]] and save his or her life). However, if the player is on foot, the Rhino will reluctantly fire giving the player ample time to escape. The very slow speed of the Rhino makes it easy for the player to outrun it on foot. The Rhino will eventually fire at the player if the player stays in range on foot for too long. A direct hit usually kills the player unless the player has full health and full armour, but will reduce the health to roughly 25% and armour to 0%.
