Dear honcho5,
The original Posse Comitatus Act (U.S. Code Title 18, Part I, Chapter
67, §1385) was approved on 18 June 1878. The original act only
referred to the Army; in 1956, the Air Force was added. The Navy and
the Marine Corps have been included by a regulation of the Department
of Defense.
The so-called Insurrection Act consists of the set of laws U.S. Code

originally approved resp. added on various dates:
