Navy CyberSpace Opens British Military Section

August 28th, 2008

Navy CyberSpace has expanded to include information about the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom! Consisting of the Royal Navy, the British Army, and the Royal Air Force, the United Kingdom’s armed services represent one of the premier military forces in the world. With close to 400,000 active and reserve members, Her Majesty’s Armed Forces measure as the 25th largest military body. The Commander-in-Chief of the military is the British monarch, currently Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, while the British Prime Minister maintains de facto authority. The Ministry of Defense was formed in 1964 to oversee the administration of Britain’s armed forces. The British military exhibits massive defense expenditures rivaled only by the United States. The primary focus of British military operations lies in its enforcement of its foreign and domestic national security and also Britain’s active participation in NATO and coalition operations.

I will be adding more information as my research continues - amazing how many parallels and sharp contrasts exist - you can join the Royal Navy while your 15 years old, how about that!

So far I have added basic pay charts and policy on leave. Leave policy is very generous as compared to the US military in my humble opinion. It has been very interesting doing the research, can’t wait to read more instructions and publications so I can get a much better grasp.

What country’s military information should I add next?
