The Army is also the largest U.S. Military Service. There are approximately 76,000 officers and 401,000 enlisted members in the active duty Army. The Army is supported by two Reserve Forces which can be tapped for trained personnel and equipment during times of need: The Army Reserves, and the Army National Guard.
The proposal to introduce AV was rejected by the electorate. This was only the second nationwide referendum to be held (the first being the EEC referendum in 1975) and the first that was not merely consultative; being post-legislative and therefore committing the government to give effect to its decision.
To make laws on any of these other matters, the Assembly would have had to ask the UK Parliament to transfer the powers to it. The results of the referendum were announced on 4 March 2011. Overall, 63.49% voted 'yes', and 36.51% voted 'no'.thers proposed that it should be held on 5 May 2011, together with both the Assembly elections and the AV referendum. It was agreed that the referendum be held on 3 March 2011, after representations to the Welsh Secretary from the Welsh Government.
