Вооруженные силы Соединенных штатов
Explanation:
At one time the Soviet armed forces included non-Ministry of Defense organizations (e.g. railroad troops, MVD's internal troops, KGB Border Trooops). This was why it was the Генеральный штаб вооруженных сил, а не министества обороны

As one may see it in the following sentences - Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (программа медицинского обслуживания членов семей военнослужащих);

If to take the translation of the military title, then the right translation will, of course, be "вооружённыe силы Соединенных штатов". That is true! Regards, Tanya Shekhovtsova
