  Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A national army is usually the arm of the military service which conducts land-based warfare (for example, the United States Army, or the French Armée de Terre).
A particular army is named or numbered to distinguish it from military land forces in general—for example, the U.S. First Army and the Army of Northern Virginia.
Armies (as well as army groups and theaters) are large formations which vary significantly between armed forces in size, composition, and scope of responsibility.

Perhaps a principal reason for the strange lapse in the mention of their name is to be found in the circumstance that during this period between 626 and 791 it seems to have changed first to "Havar" and then to "Harvat".
It is certainly true that the names of some of the earliest known Croat chiefs, such as Varda and Pervaviega, are typically Iranian, and that the name of one of the seven or eight original great Croat tribes, Jamomet, also appears to be of Iranian origin.
Even in the Carpathian area today there are names that seem to be derived from old Persian and it is more than likely that the Croats on their march southwards left splinter groups behind them who applied these Ira nian names to the districts in which they lived.

Director Maurice Cloche portrays the poverty of the times and the cruelty of the regime in starkly convincing fashion, providing a solid historical framework within which Pierre Fresnay's performance in the title role shines with a warm compassion and spiritual intensity which most viewers will find irresistably compelling.
Directed by Jean Renoir, the picture of life in the camp is rich in narrative incident and human detail, neatly supporting a theme dealing with the end of the aristocratic ideal of chivalry and its replacement by mass armies of commoners with no desire for war.

There is yet another name which is particularly assigned to God as his special or proper name, that is, the four letters YHWH (Exodus 3:14 and Isaiah 42:8).
The name eventually ceased to be pronounced because later the Jews thought it too holy to be and uttered and feared violating Ex 20:7 and Lev 24:16.
Hebrew names are transliterated into the English Bibles as in many biblical names of the Old Testament such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Zephaniah, they end with this first part (Yah) of the sacred Name.

It is an aspect of the divine nature that is revealed in the "compound names" of God.
Some familiar examples of these unique names are Yahweh-Nissi (The Lord My Banner) or Yahweh-Jirah (The Lord My Provider) or Yahweh Rapha (The Lord My Healer), etc. In revealing Himself via these names (about 30 different occasions in the Bible), the Lord unites His eternal nature to the human need of His servant.
