Answer

Brief Explanations:

A compound - sentence has two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (in this case, "so"). The first independent clause is "At the beginning of the Revolutionary War, the Americans had no existing army" and the second is "American troops were formed from militia—groups of citizens from the thirteen colonies who were trained for local defense". There are no dependent clauses to make it complex or compound - complex.
