<P> The New Model Army of England was formed in 1645 by the Parliamentarians in the English Civil War , and was disbanded in 1660 after the Restoration . It differed from other armies in the series of civil wars referred to as the Wars of the Three Kingdoms in that it was intended as an army liable for service anywhere in the country ( including in Scotland and Ireland ) , rather than being tied to a single area or garrison . Its soldiers became full - time professionals , rather than part - time militia . To establish a professional officer corps , the army 's leaders were prohibited from having seats in either the House of Lords or House of Commons . This was to encourage their separation from the political or religious factions among the Parliamentarians . </P>
