Force. The Auxiliary and Reserve Forces Act 1949 gave the County Associations responsibility for the Army Cadet Force. The Act was repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 1966. In the Republic of Ireland, where it had ceased to have force after independence, it was formally repealed as obsolete by the Statute Law Revision Act 1983. In India, it was identified by the Law Commission of India in 1957 as being no longer useful, and accordingly was repealed by the British Statutes (Application To India) Repeal Act, 1960. The principal legislation currently governing the Army Reserve, as the Territorial Army became, is the Reserve Forces Act 1996. Part 3 of The Defence Reform Act 2014 updated some aspects of that measure, however, including changing the name to Army Reserve.
