The Army of the United States has also not been used in over 50 years,but does that mean it couldn't be used again?

Can I move to whichever dimension it is you live in?
? The United States Army is something different...
Struggling to see the relevance, but, thank you for teaching me this:

The U.S. Army is the permanent, professional standing land force (Regular Army, Reserves, National Guard),

while the Army of the United States (AUS) was a temporary, authorized component used primarily during major wars to rapidly expand forces through draftees and volunteers.
