	Territorial Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Territorial Army is a part of the British Army, the land armed forces of the United Kingdom.
		The Territorial Force was originally formed by the Secretary of State for War, Richard Burdon Haldane, following the passage of the "Territorial and Reserve Forces Bill" on August 2, 1907 and contained 14 infantry divisions, each administered by a County Association.
		Territorial units initially saw service in Egypt and India and other Empire garrisons such as Gibraltar, thereby releasing regular units for service in France and enabling the formation of an additional five regular army divisions (for a total of eleven) by early 1915.

		The most convincing fact is that in wartime, or in times of national emergency, the Territorial Army would account for more than one third of the Army's total strength.
		The Regular Army provides experienced officers and instructors to help with the training and the day-to-day running of the TA, BUT it is up to the Territorial officers, warrant officers and non-commissioned officers (NCOs) to train themselves and their men.
		As an "own time" soldier in the TA you would remain a civilian, but in a state of national emergency or a war you could be mobilised and become a full-time soldier, which is why you need to be fully prepared and professionally trained.

	Purchase System & Pay Scale
		The sale of commissions in the army was prohibited by William III, and by the Mutiny Act of 1684 whereby every officer was compelled to make oath that he had not given or promised to give any money or reward for his commission.
		Moreover, it was the practice of the army that an officer who was willing and able to pay the cost of the commission would not be passed over by another in the same regiment, unless he had committed some flagrant conduct that precluded his commission.
		It soon became inevitable that the army's failures, lead by aristocratic senior officers, would lead to a general assault on the method by which these officers had gained their rank and promotion.
