The British Army
It was in 1707 when the kingdoms of Scotland and England merged to form the Kingdom of Great Britain and the branch of the land armed forces of the British Armed Forces came to known as the British Army. The management of the British Army falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defence. Of the 109,740 regular soldiers of the British Army, 98,560 personnel are trained personnel. There are also 3640 Gurkhas are present along with 34,000 Territorial Army soldiers in the army. The soldiers of the British Army are deployed in the many war zones in the world being a part of the United Nation's Peacekeeping Force and Expeditionary Forces. At present, you would find soldiers of the British Army in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Germany, Cyprus and other places.
The British Army does not sport the title Royal like the other forces, which are the Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and Royal Marines, because the British Army is the Army of the parliament, and does not come under the command of the crown. The head of the British Army is the Chief of the General Staff.
The British Army receives all its commands from the democratically elected British Government. The primary concern and job of the British Army is to protect all the interests and territories of the United Kingdom that encompasses England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The British Army provides employment to those who are seeking a career in the armed forces and who are ready to fight for their nation. All the soldiers of the British Army are highly skilled and provided the necessary training to take up any type of job if they require leaving the services.
