Nepal Army
The Nepal Army shall be organized, trained, and equipped for the defense of Nepal\'s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national unity. It functions under civilian control through the Council of Ministers.
The Nepal Army\'s constitutional mandate: defend the nation\'s borders and sovereignty. Key rule: the army is under CIVILIAN control — the Council of Ministers (not generals) makes strategic decisions. The President is the Supreme Commander, but acts on the PM\'s advice. The army cannot engage in politics, business, or domestic policing (that\'s the police\'s job). This civilian control was hard-won after decades of royal and military power.
नेपाली सेना — राष्ट्रको सार्वभौमसत्ता र भूभागको रक्षा। नागरिक नियन्त्रणमा — मन्त्रिपरिषद्को निर्देशनमा।
Constitutional civilian control ended the era of military involvement in politics.
Army\'s budget and internal affairs remain opaque; democratic oversight of military spending is weak.
