Nepali Army

The Nepali Army (Nepali: नेपाली सेना, "Nēpālī Sēnā"), technically the Gorkhali Army (गोरखाली सेना, "Gōrakhālī Sēnā"; see "Gorkhas"), is the land service branch of the Nepalese Armed Forces. During the period of the Nepali unification campaign, it was known as the "Gorkhali Army" and later as the "Royal Nepali Army" following the establishment of a Hindu monarchy in Nepal. It was officially renamed to the Nepali Army on 28 May 2008, following the abolition of the 240-year-old Shah dynasty shortly after the Nepali Civil War.
The Nepali Army has participated in various conflicts throughout its history, going as far back as the Nepali unification campaign launched by Prithvi Narayan Shah of the Gorkha Kingdom. It has engaged in an extensive number of battles within South Asia, and continues to take part in global conflicts as part of United Nations peacekeeping coalitions.
The Nepali Army is headquartered in Kathmandu, Nepal and the incumbent Chief of Army Staff is General Prabhu Ram Sharma.
