What is the full form of ARMY

ARMY: Alert Regular Mobility Young

ARMY stands for Alert Regular Mobility Young. The military branch of a nation that engages in ground combat is known as the army. Soldiers are those employed by the armed forces. Tanks, aircraft, and helicopters are common weapons used by modern armies to support ground combatants.

A soldier may enlist willingly (voluntarily joining something) or may be compelled to enlist by the government. Conscription or the draught are two terms used to describe compelling men to enlist. Voluntary armies typically have low numbers but high standards of competence and professionalism. It may be exceedingly difficult to make someone sacrifice their life against their will, despite the fact that drafted armies are generally large but lacking in quality and confidence. Armies have evolved both as individuals and as a whole throughout history. Army compositions have changed as a result of social and political developments in various nations over time. Armed forces were arranged differently as a result of new weapons. In various eras, infantry soldiers, mounted warriors or men in machines have formed the core of armies.

Mission

Defence of the country's borders was initially the army's primary goal.
