The US military is currently the most powerful in the world. Is there anything in place, besides soldiers’/CO’s individual allegiances to stop a military coup?

Only if you literally have a charismatic general that is battle hardened, is connected like crazy and literally has divisions of soldiers willing to die for them. I don’t think many generals like that exist especially in the US. And lastly, you need a political climate where people are actually dying for change. That’s why you see coups now more or less in poor countries. US is a rich country, and you need some serious poverty in every state to create this perfect storm. I guess I’m thinking about Napoleon as a more recent example.
