The Army of the United Angle States was founded on June 25th 1884 in the immediate aftermath of the [[Concordat of Donnebourg]]. In its initial form, the Army of the United Angle States featured three independent components: Infantry branch, cavalry branch and artillery branch.

Following the [[Occidental Cold War]] and an end to Ænglish neutrality, the Army of the United Angle States took part in the international coalition against [[Varshan]] during the [[Final War of the Deluge]], contributing forces to both the [[Quetzenkel front]], [[Cetsencalia front]] and the [[Ehemoan front]] following the [[Atomic bombing of Zakan Rot]]. On the Quetzenkel front, Anglei launched the controversial and ultimately disastrous [[Quetzenkel_front#Cobalt_campaign_and_relief_efforts|Cobalt campaign]], the worst military defeat by an Ænglish state since the [[Nordmontaine War]] for which Chief of the Army General Charles Wilson was sacked. The enormous loss of life during the campaign lead to a national identity crisis and inaugurated a period of military reform and increased outward facing identity, as many Ænglish interpreted the loss as being attributable to an outdated military and political mindset. This ultimately resulted the Armed Forces Plan of 2027, overhauling the equipment and organization of the Army of the United Angle States.<ref>Michaels, John: ''Para Bellum - to war with the Ænglish'', pg. 101-114. 2027.</ref><ref>Desenus, Julian: ''Last Battles - the Final War of the Deluge'', pg. 41-50. 2028.</ref> | Following the [[Occidental Cold War]] and an end to Ænglish neutrality, the Army of the United Angle States took part in the international coalition against [[Varshan]] during the [[Final War of the Deluge]], contributing forces to both the [[Quetzenkel front]], [[Cetsencalia front]] and the [[Ehemoan front]] following the [[Atomic bombing of Zakan Rot]].
