Sir Thomas Fairfax was its Captain General and Sir Phillip Skippon was its Sergeant Major General of Foot when it was formed. The most well known general would have been Oliver Cromwell who was originally a Cavalry Colonel and then became Lieutenant General of the Horse and second in command to Fairfax. Eventually he led it himself.

How did the new model army help parliament win the civil war?

What were the new model armies tactics to win the war?

What were the tactics the 'New Model Army' used to win the English Civil War? The tactics employed by both sides during the Civil War were modeled on those used on the continent in the 'Thirty Years War' - with particular reference to the tactical doctrine of the army of Sweden. It was not, in truth, tactical superiority that won the war for the Parliamentarians, rather it was the superior discipline and organisation of the New Model Army. The Parliamentarian army of 1642 (the year the war began) reflected it's Royalist counterpart; generally poor training and discipline, inadequate logistical support and often insufficient or inappropriate equipment. The latter 'New Model Army' was an entirely different construct. The New Model Army was comprised of (relatively) well supported professional soldiers who were capable of executing complex battlefield maneuvers to a degree that entirely outclassed their Royalist opposites.
