Military Regional Command
The Indonesian Military Regional Commands ( id, Komando Daerah Militer; abbreviated ) are military districts of the Indonesian Army which function for territorial defence of various regions within the country. They cover one or multiple provinces. History The Armed Forces' military regions are known as . Their organization was established by General Sudirman, following the model of the German Wehrkreise system.

Army Reserve (United Kingdom)
The Army Reserve is the active-duty volunteer reserve force of the British Army. It is separate from the Regular Reserve whose members are ex-Regular personnel who retain a statutory liability for service.

Haldane planned a volunteer "Territorial Force", to provide a second line for the six divisions of the Expeditionary Force which he was establishing as the centerpiece of the Regular Army. The Territorial Force was to be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Territorial Army (Ethiopia)
The Territorial Army () was the national ground force of the Ethiopian Empire. It operated essentially as a loosely organized auxiliary force serving to aid in local police work. It was dominated by a group of officers known as "The Exiles" for their role in fleeing Ethiopia with Haile Selassie in 1936 after the Second Italo-Ethiopian War. History It was formed as part of Haile Selassie's transformation strategy, with the mission being to disarm the guerrillas that took part in the Ethiopian Civil War. Emperor Selassie authorized the recruitment of many shifta in the Territorial Army during its existence. Over time, it was gradually incorporated into the regular army. In late June 1974, officers of the Territorial Army formed the Derg.

Ethiopian National Defense Force
The Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) ( am, የኢፌዲሪ መከላከያ ሠራዊት, Ye’īfēdērī mekelakeya šerawīt, lit=FDRE Defense Force) is the military force of Ethiopia. Civilian control of the military is carried out through the Ministry of Defense, which oversees the Ground Forces, Air Force, Naval Force as well as the Defense Industry Sector. History The Ethiopian army's origins and military traditions date back to the earliest history of Ethiopia. Due to Ethiopia's location between the Middle East and Africa, it has long been in the middle of Eastern and Western politics and has been subject to foreign invasion and aggression. In 1579, the Ottoman Empire's attempt to expand from a coastal base at Massawa during the Ottoman conquest of Habesh was defeated. The Army of the Ethiopian Empire was also able to defeat the Egyptians in 1876 at Gura, led by Ethiopian Emperor Yohannes IV. Clapham wrote in the 1980s that the "Abyssinians ad suffered ...

Territorial Army (Germany)
The Territorial Army (''Territorialheer'') was a military reserve force, part of the German Army of the Bundeswehr, which was responsible for territorial defence from the 1950s to c.2001. In contrast to the field army, the territorial army was nationally commanded even in the anticipated wartime fighting period (similar to UK Transition To War). In contrast to the field army, it consisted largely of Reserve forces, which only grew in the event of a defense by conscription of reservists. The Heimatschutztruppe (Home Defence Troops) formed part of the Territorial Army. The main function of the ''Territorialheer'' was to maintain the operational freedom of NATO forces through providing rear area defence against saboteurs, enemy special forces, and the like. It supported the field army, the other parts of the Bundeswehr, and the other NATO organisations operating in West Germany in "maintaining freedom of operations”. Liaison Missions were established with various parts of NATO ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Territorial Army (France)
The French Territorial Army (french: Armée territoriale) was a component of the French Army from 1872 to 1918. It consisted of men aged from 34 to 49 who were considered too old and insufficiently trained to serve in an active or reserve regiment. Creation The Territorial Army was created by law on 27 July 1872 which established the principles of the military reserve. This law established a military service obligation of twenty years for French men as follows: * five years in the active army; * four years in the Army Reserve; * five years in the Territorial Army; * six years in the Territorial Army Reserve. World War I On 1 August 1914, France decreed a general mobilisation Mobilization is the act of assembling and readying military troops and supplies for war.

Imperial-Royal Landwehr
The Imperial-Royal Landwehr (german: kaiserlich-königliche Landwehr or ''k.k. Landwehr''), also called the Austrian Landwehr, was the territorial army of the Cisleithanian or Austrian half of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1869 to 1918. Its counterpart was the Royal Hungarian Landwehr (''k.u. Landwehr''). The two ''Landwehrs'', together with the Common Army and the Imperial and Royal Navy, made up the armed forces (''Bewaffnete Macht'' or ''Wehrmacht'') of Austria-Hungary. While the name, "Imperial-Royal", might seem to suggest a link between the "Imperial" (Cisleithanian) and "Royal" ( Transleithanian or Hungarian) halves of the Empire, in this context "Royal" actually refers to the Kingdom of Bohemia (''Königreich Böhmen'' or ''České království)'' - not a sovereign kingdom on par with the Kingdom of Hungary, but a crownland of Cisleithanian Austria-Hungary and possession of the Habsburgs, who remained formally entitled to kingship''.'' In this sense, the Kingdom of Boh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Austro-Hungarian Army
The Austro-Hungarian Army (, literally "Ground Forces of the Austro-Hungarians"; , literally "Imperial and Royal Army") was the ground force of the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy from 1867 to 1918. It was composed of three parts: the joint army (, " Common Army", recruited from all parts of the country), the Imperial Austrian Landwehr (recruited from Cisleithania), and the Royal Hungarian Honvéd (recruited from Transleithania). In the wake of fighting between the Austrian Empire and the Hungarian Kingdom and the two decades of uneasy co-existence following, Hungarian soldiers served either in mixed units or were stationed away from Hungarian areas. With the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 the new tripartite army was brought into being. It existed until the disestablishment of the Austro-Hungarian Empire following World War I in 1918. The joint "Imperial and Royal Army" ( or ''k.u.k.'') units were generally poorly trained and had very limited access to new equipmen ...

Royal Hungarian Honvéd
The Royal Hungarian ( hu, Magyar Királyi Honvédség) or Royal Hungarian (german: königlich ungarische Landwehr), commonly known as the (; collectively, the ), was one of the four armed forces (german: Bewaffnete Macht, links=no or ) of Austria-Hungary from 1867 to 1918, along with the Austrian Landwehr, the Common Army and the Imperial and Royal Navy. The term ''honvéd'' was used to refer to all members of the Hungarian land forces in 1848-49, but it was also used to refer to enlisted private soldiers without a rank. History The word ''honvéd'' in Hungarian (sometimes "honved" in English sources) means "defender of the homeland" and first appeared during the 1848 revolutions. At that time it was the name given to volunteers who were engaged for several weeks or ''a gyözelemig'' (i.e. "until victory") and sent to fight the Serbs and Croats. Subsequently, the bulk of the fighting was against the Empire of Austria, whereupon a number of regular imperial regiment ...

Militia
A militia () is generally an army or some other fighting organization of non- professional soldiers, citizens of a country, or subjects of a state, who may perform military service during a time of need, as opposed to a professional force of regular, full-time military personnel; or, historically, to members of a warrior-nobility class (e.g. knights or samurai). Generally unable to hold ground against regular forces, militias commonly support regular troops by skirmishing, holding fortifications, or conducting irregular warfare, instead of undertaking offensive campaigns by themselves. Local civilian laws often limit militias to serve only in their home region, and to serve only for a limited time; this further reduces their use in long military campaigns. Beginning in the late 20th century, some militias (in particular officially recognized and sanctioned militias of a government) act as professional forces, while still being "part-time" or "on-call" organizations.
