ARRSEPedia is the totally unofficial wiki for the British Army – from its sister-site ARRSE – the 'ARmy Rumour SErvice' (a website containing official news articles, and a highly active forum). ARRSE and ARRSEPedia are for all currently serving members of the British Army, former members, future members, cadet forces members; and anyone else interested in the British Army. Indeed, ARRSE and ARRSEPedia are regularly referred to and quoted in the Britsh media.

"The ARRSEPedia is a Wiki, just like wikipedia, but for the British Army / ARRSE, and not quite 100% serious. The ARRSEPedia is a mass of armyticles that anyone can create or Edit. The idea is that if everyone contributes a little of his knowledge, opinions, sense of humour and experience, then something really impressive... the ARRSEPedia.. is created. The most important thing is that you or anyone else can contribute immediately with no interference. You can start new pages or edit existing ones. If you'd like to share your knowledge of Rations, feel free. We would all just love to know about Satellites for example. What about your experience of operations or knowledge of Places and Postings? Anything in fact - in short, get writing . . ."

The BEST unofficial British Army resource on the 'net; ARRSEPedia contains articles which range from the highly factual, to the utterly irrelevant – with a liberal dose of 'forces humour' – so if easily offended, some articles may verge on being offensive (including profanities, and non 'politically-correct' points of view)! Read all about the Challenger – the pongos' 'office', and their gat; the Army's lack of tollerance to Walts, along with a tongue-in-cheek read of some inter-service rivalry with the Royal Air Force. And for some really interesting reading, digest the British Military Procurement Mysteries – if you dare!

Please note – it is highly doubtful you will find any info on real arses backsides on the ARRSEPedia . . .

ARRSEPedia uses the MediaWiki software, but uses a custom skin and hosts avertising by way of GoogleAds

ARRSE and ARRSEPedia are part of Olive Network — which also includes 'RumRation' (a similar website and forum for the Royal Navy), 'RearParty' (a site dedicted to the dependents of service personnel, such as wives, husbands, children and parents), and 'PatchPedia' (a wiki on British military domestic sites including married quarters). And for the lonely Pongo, Olive Network also hosts OliveDating a type of 'Match.com' for desparate squaddies!
