EN: army, land forces
Same same but different from 'hukbong-kati'. It also means the army or land forces. Think of it like 'car' and 'automobile' - you can use either one. This is the official name for the Philippine Army ('Hukbong Katihan ng Pilipinas'). So when you see soldiers marching, you're looking at the 'hukbong-katihan'.
A compound of 'hukbo' (army) and 'katihan' (land, terrain).
The more formal and common term for a nation's army, synonymous with 'hukbong-kati'.
