The four major military service academies in the United States, one for each branch of the armed forces, are the U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, U.S. Military Academy, and U.S. Naval Academy. Graduates of these schools must serve five years of active duty in exchange for the government-provided education they receive. Private, state-supported military academies include The Citadel and the Virginia Military Institute.
