Line 1: − [[Image:British_Infantry1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|British Army [[infantry]] on maneouvres]]+ − An '''army''' is a group of ground soldiers under the command of a general. Armies were the main method of combat between [[kingdom|kingdoms]] in the pre-modern era. − − Much of military strategy in the immediately pre-modern era centered around the question of whether or not it is preferable to maintain a "standing army" - that is, a group of soldiers ready to be "mobilized" at a moment's notice to fight for the country, functioning additionally as deterrence. Standing armies are exorbitantly expensive to maintain. Now, most countries maintain a small standing army, but nuclear powers rely on nuclear warheads to maintain deterrence in large part. − − ==See also== − *[[British Army]] − *[[Israel Defense Forces]] − *[[Red Army]] − *[[United States Army]] − **[[101st Airborne Division]] − **[[United States Army Signal Corps]] − *[[Mechanized infantry]] − *[[Mercenary]] − − − − [[Category:Military]]
