Testing a revisionist New Model Army claim

A recent paper claims that the entire New Model Army was recruited in the American colonies and brought to England. Colonial population totals make that scale implausible once the field army and its garrisons are counted together. Regimental histories also allow historians to trace where units and personnel were recruited, trained, and deployed. The example distinguishes a provocative recent thesis from settled scholarship whose major points have survived sustained testing. A new argument must meet the demographic and administrative evidence before it can displace the established account.
