British Army (A New World)

The British Army is the principal land warfare force of the United Kingdom, a part of British Armed Forces. As of 2110, the British Army comprises over 530,000 trained regular (full-time) personnel and just over 125,000 trained reserve (part-time) personnel.

The modern British Army traces back to 1707, with an antecedent in the English Army that was created during the Restoration in 1660. The term British Army was adopted in 1707 after the Acts of Union between England and Scotland. Members of the British Army swear allegiance to the monarch as their commander-in-chief, but the Bill of Rights of 1689 requires parliamentary consent for the Crown to maintain a peacetime standing army. Therefore, Parliament approves the army by passing an Armed Forces Act at least once every five years. The army is administered by the Ministry of Defence and commanded by the Chief of the General Staff.

The British Army has seen action in major wars between the world's great powers, including the Seven Years' War, the Napoleonic Wars, the Crimean War and the First, Second, and Third World Wars. Britain's victories in these decisive wars allowed it to influence world events and establish itself as one of the world's leading military and economic powers.

Bullpup Assault Rifle. along with Armstead LMG, a machine gun named by it's designer and manufactured by RSAF, Accuracy International AX50 Sniper Rifle, and Royal Ordnance L17 81mm Mortar for indirect fire. the British Army utilized the Enfield No. 3 Pistol as it's sidearm.

Army Headquarters is located in Andover, Hampshire. The army's structure is broadly similar to the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force, the Chief of the General Staff is in charge of Army Headquarters. There are four lieutenant-general posts in Army headquarters: the Deputy Chief of the General Staff, the Commander Field Army, the Commander Home Command and the Commander UDC Allied Rapid Reaction Corps.
