There is really no reference to which end is which on an Army-Navy retractor.
Perhaps the "deep" end is Navy, and the short end is Army.

The army-navy retractor is named after the branches of the military (Army and Navy) that commonly use this medical instrument. It is thought to have been originally designed for use during surgical procedures to help expose and retract tissues.
The US Army is not part of the US Navy . EDIT: The Marine Corps is technically part of the Navy
The Royal Marines are part of the Royal Navy and nothing to do with the Army.

Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines (part of the Navy), and the Coast Guard (part of Homeland Security, formerly part of the Department of Transportation, formerly part of the Treasury Department).
It isn't. The Royal Air Force is an idependent force like the Royal Navy and the Army. The navy and army have their own individual air arms, the Fleet Air Arm and the Army Air Corps but each has individual roles.
The US Military consisted of: US Navy US Marine Corps US Army The US Coast Guard was also a part of the defense structure. The Air Force didn't exist until after World War 2.
They do. technically the USMC is part of the Navy Department, as for many decades the Air Force was part of the Army ( no longer true=but look at the song!)

Army and Navy. The Marines were a smaller unit then and a part of the Navy. The Coast Guard was part of the Treasury Department in peace, and part of the Navy in war. The US Army had military pilots, but no equivalent to an air force until after World War 1. [In 1917-18 US pilots flew for the French.]
