The Chilean Army (Spanish: Ejército de Chile) is the land arm of the Military of Chile. This 45,000-person army (12,700 of which are conscripts) is organized into six divisions, a special operations brigade and an air brigade.
In recent years and after several major reequipment programs, the Chilean Army has become one of the most technologically advanced and professional armies of the Americas.
The Chilean Army is mostly supported by equipment from Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the British Empire, Israel, France, and Spain.
