1. territorial army

   The territorial army is a part-time voluntary reserve force within the regular army in various countries. Their role is primarily to support regular forces during times of war, crisis, or emergency, provide backup during natural disasters, and assist in maintaining domestic peace and security. They are typically composed of civilians who engage in military training and duties for specified periods of time and can be deployed as needed by the country's defense department. However, their commitment and responsibilities may vary depending on the country's military structure and needs.

1. Territorial Army

   The Territorial Army is a volunteer active-duty reservist force and integrated element of the British Army. The TA represents about a quarter of the overall manpower strength of the British Army. TA members regularly volunteer to serve overseas on operations, either with TA units, or as individuals attached to regular units. Over one thousand TA soldiers are deployed overseas on operations each year. The highest ranking Territorial is Major-General Greg Smith TD, who is Assistant Chief of the Defence Staff. The Territorial Army was created in 1908 by the Secretary of State for War, Richard Haldane, when the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act 1907 combined the previously civilian-administered Volunteer Force, with the Militia and Yeomanry. Most Volunteer infantry units had unique identities, but lost these in the reorganisation, becoming Territorial battalions of Regular Army infantry regiments. Some, notably the London Regiment, Glasgow Highlanders and Liverpool Scottish maintained a separate identity. Its original purpose was home defence, although the establishment of the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve in 1967 involved a restructuring and revised doctrine leading to the provision of routine support for the regular army overseas. Reservists in the past also served as constables or bailiffs, even holding positions of civic duty as overseer of their parish. The more modern Yeomen of the 18th century were cavalry-based units, which were often used to suppress riots such as the infamous Peterloo Massacre. Several units that are now part of the TA bear the title "militia", reflecting their origins as part of that organisation prior to the formation of the TA.
