History of the Nepali Army
The Nepali Army, the highly decorated military organization of the motherland, Nepal, with a history of over 250 years, seems to be an active organization since 744 AD. The military organization which was established with the establishment of four companies in the year 744 AD is presently having a total number of troops of about 97,000 who are serving the motherland under different units from command to company, while as a whole controlled by the army headquarters. To this day, the Nepali Army has been through a huge revolution in the field of modern military development and progress which took place in different phases in the past and is still continuous.
While going through the brief history of Nepal, the changes and the development of the Nepal Army seems to be very much progressive with time though those phases consist of both up and down, pros and cons as well. Ultimately, the Nepali Armys progr
essive turnaround took place along with the start of the unification campaign for the Great Nepal which was led by the late King Prithvi Narayan Shah who is also known as the Father of the Modern Nepali Army. He led the process of the great reformation of the Nepali Army at that age as he was well known for the fact that there is no substitute for a properly trained and well-equipped soldier for his dream project of Unification of Nepal for which army was organized in Gorkha, while foreign technician and experts were brought from abroad for the essential training and manufacture of war materials, equipment, and ammunitions. Though there exists a history of the army and activities related to its reformation and development since the tenure of King Ram Shah of Gorkha during 700s BS which was later followed by his successor Shah Kings and after the unification campaign of Nepal still the time monarchy was overthrown in Nepal.
