B or D. I can'r really give a concrete answer. When Washington first entered office, the majority of the armed forced were disbanded due to the public's distrust of having a standing army. So for a time, the US employed irregular state militias to protect the fledgling nation. There was however a single regiment that was still standing, but was used to guard the Western Frontier. I would go with D due to the fact that when he first took office most of the army was disbanded.
