The Hampshire Trained Bands were a part-time military force recruited from Hampshire and the Isle of Wight in Southern England. First organised in 1572 from earlier levies, they were periodically embodied for home defence and internal security, including the Spanish Armada campaign in 1588 and the Wars of the Three Kingdoms.
