Description
The British Army is the principal land warfare force of the United Kingdom, a part of British Armed Forces 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.[6][7] Although all members of the British Army are expected to swear (or affirm) allegiance to Elizabeth II as their commander-in-chief,the Bill of Rights of 1689 requires parliamentary ####### for the Crown to maintain a peacetime standing army; hence the reason it is not called the "Royal 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.
