What business type is the salvation army?
The Salvation Army is a church organization that is in over 120 countries in the world. There is not one person who owns the Salvation Army, but there are individuals who run each location and pay for the bills at that specific location. There is also one person who is in charge of the entire Salvation Army, and that is currently General Linda Bond.
What does the Salvation Army do?
The Salvation Army runs a Christian charity. They bring aid and help to those in need, whether this be due to poverty, unemployment or other issues. They bring help and hope. They are there to help in times of crisis. The Salvation Army has people in many, many nations around the world, and because of this, their people can help when natural or manmade disasters hit, even though it takes days or even weeks for other agencies to get in.
For example, when the cyclone hit Myanmar, being a closed country, no international aid could get in for some time. But because the Salvation Army had its own citizens within that country, they were able to get aid to the victims immediately.
When the devastating bushfires hit Victoria, the Salvation Army was the first organisation in there, helping the victims in practical ways immediately, providing shelter and basic necessities. Their fundraising provided financial aid immediately, whereas the victims need to wait weeks and even months for the funds from the Red Cross. Similarly, when the earthquakes hit Japan and Christchurch in New Zealand, the Salvation Army was there from the start. They sent in teams from other countries, working tirelessly around the clock, behind the scenes, to distribute money and goods to the most needy and all those who had lost possessions.

The Salvation Army was started by former Methodist lay preacher William Booth, and his wife. Lack of work for lay preachers led him to open-air evangelising on the English streets and Kennington common. In 1851 Booth joined the Wesleyan Reform Union, but when his repeated requests for more time for evangelistic campaigns were refused by his church, he resigned from the ministry and became a full time evangelist. The Salvation Army was born in 1865 as the East London Christian Mission. Not only did Booth preach, but he rallied helpers to offer practical assistance to the underprivileged. In 1878, the organisation became known as the Salvation Army.

An army actually marching isn't called anything, an army usually consists of more than 50,000 individuals, to get all of these to march together and to find a route long enough to cope with all of the soldiers would be horrendous! The largest amount of soldiers I have ever heard of marching together is a Battalion which consists of less than 1000 men.
If however you are talking about an army en route to a theatre of war, it's never really called an army, it is usually broken down int divisions and such because moving that many men would be a QMs' nightmare!
