What kind of a military does the United Kingdom have?

They have of course the Royal Air Force, the Royal Navy, army etc.   They essentially have similar counterparts to our military and intelligence services, but their military is smaller.  Comparatively to the US, an individual is less likely to be personally acquainted with a member of the military, this is simply to do percentages of military personnel to civilian and whilst I lived there, they did not seem to hold much respect for members of the military.  And just in case you didn't know, despite the fact that Tony Blair is on the same side currently with the US, we are not liked by most Brits.  I should state that they are despite this general dislike of Americans, still polite and generally helpful if you are visiting their country.

I have not seen one, but the British Army does have a soldier support web site. I linked it below for you. Thanks for your support.

each other countries in the EU have their own army.  THey could never form a EU army their are to many view points for it to work.  Look at Iraq Britian Poland Beligum and Spain supported the US. France and Germany opposed it and hurt the US.

The UK does not have a written consitution like the USA does.\n\nOur constitution is based on three things; conventions, statutes and historical writings.\n\nSearching for 'The British/UK constitution' or any low level British politics website should give you lots more information.

Yes, but not a very good one. When was the last time they won a shooting war without the help of the Soviet Union, Britain and Australia? I know about Grenada; I mean against a real army.

Relatively strong next to England. They've got carriers which look like they have some Russian influence, but are similar in size and operation to Britian's carriers.

curt06lfc is correct. Great Britain has no written constitution, but they operate within a constitutional framework created through legal precedent.

US President Roosevelt considered the UK to be a bastion against facism, and the US to be 'the aresenl of democracy'. Firstly, the UK was allowed to purchase arms and supplies like a cash and carry and later the "Lend Lease" scheme was introduced allowing the UK to get supplies at no cost at point of collection. Eventually the UK traded some ports and based (like Ascension Island) in return for 50 US Navy Destoyers.\n\nAfter that the US Navy was involved in escorting convoys accross the Atlantic, and then on 10th December 1941, Hitler declared war on the US.

The Scottish regiments would become the Scottish army.  But what would happen to Faselane Nuclear submarine base is the more important question as the SNP have a policy of total nuclear disarmament the subs would have to be based in England or Wales. I suppose some of the navy would be come Scottish as well as the RAF based in Scotland

The Uk has many 'special relations' with many countries and corps.\n\nMost of the corps are british multinational corps like BA, Areospcae (or what ever its called)\n\nThey countries we most get on with (other than the US) are European, like France and Germany, where they are so big and can effect the EU so much we have no choice but to have good relations with them.\n\nOther than that, we just keep people sweet, just incase we need anything.

im sure there are plenty of countries using it.... possibly the british army ..... most military branches dont give out information on what types of training exercises they have that could possibly get into the wrong hands

IMO the UK also knows that the only nation that they can truly count on if they need military help is the US.

As a former British Army officer who served alongside US troops in the first Gulf War I can say from personal experience that the US troops loved having Brits alongside them. It is true that the kit that the US forces has is far superior to the UK soldiers but I found US QM's were extremely happy to issue us spare kit as and when they could. \nBoth Armies differ slightly in operational proceedures but as we have been fighting shoulder to shoulder since WWII we have developed a healthy respect for each other. Whilst there exists a healthy rivalry and culture of mutual mickey taking (joking) there is a very strong bond of brothers in arms between the two nations.\nYes there have been problems with "friendly fire" in certain circumstances but anyone who has ever been in a firefight will realise how easy mistakes are made.\nI have always been impressed with the US soldiers I have served alongside - even if their capacity for alcohol is dreadful and they dont understand football (it's not soccer guys!!) and they never want to play rugby!!\nThe UK owes the US a huge debt from WWII and I for one am glad that I've played a small part in paying some of that debt back.

British Army is a good choice but it's tough so you need to be sure you can hack it. On the plus side it recruits from all over the world i.e. Nepal and The Caribbean to name two.\nYes I imagine you would get citizenship after your service too as most the over seas soldiers do. As for equipment we don't have nearly the amount the Americans spend on their military but we make up for that in training, versatility and toughness. \nThe British Army is the best trained and motivated army in the world!

The Army doesn't have branches.  The US government has branches (executive, legislative and judicial).  The military has branches, I guess - Army, Navy (Marines are part of the Navy) and Air Force.  Coast Guard is under the Department of Homeland Security, not the Defense Department, so they aren't considered military.
