can an employer force an employee to take a leave of absence with no medical documentation?
During a legislated or approved leave of absence from work, employment is considered continuous. Therefore, an employee is still considered employed, though not earning wages. The leave does not affect employees' right to take vacation time; it only affects the amount of vacation wages earned. See the Vacations and Vacation Pay page for details on earning and paying vacation. Maternity leave is an unpaid leave so you would be entitled to vacation pay service Canada for more details.
No. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides for 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a 12 month period. Your employer may allow you (or require you) to take vacation or sick leave to cover the time, or may offer a short term disability insurance plan, but there is nothing in any of the federal laws that mandates payment during FMLA leave.
If you mean takes a leave, it means to plan a vacation or an absence from your job. Usually for a medical reason. Such as--> The stress at work is so bad, I had to take a leave of absence.Otherwise, I have never heard of talking leaves. :)
The rules generally include a provision that you get approval for vacation time off by requesting it in advance and providing the dates you will be out so the employer can plan for adequate coverage during your absence. Deciding on your own to take a vacation and simply not showing up for work can be reason for dismissal.
It's up to the employer. The US Family and Medical Leave Act allows employers to require that employees use paid leave (i.e. vacation time, "personal days", sick days, etc.) first. You'd need to contact your employer's human resources department to find out what your company policy is.

The same way any other service member does - they accrue it during the time they've spent in. You accrue 30 days paid vacation in the US Army per year. When they can use it is dependent on a number of things. For line units, block leave rotations during the Summer and Winter are common. Other units, service members may be able to be a bit more flexible with when they take leave.
Yes and no- MOST members of the Reserve Forces have civilian jobs. You will need to take a leave of absence from your civilian job while you undergo your initial training, and you will need to spend time with your Reserve unit during the year- typically one weekend per month, and 2 weeks per year for active duty. IF your unit is called up for active service, again, you would need a leave of absence. Federal law permits you take a leave of absence, and to return to your civilian job when you return.
