In war, the Eight Banners functioned as armies, but the banner system was also the basic organizational framework of all of Manchu society.

The banner armies were considered the elite forces of the Qing military, while the remainder of imperial troops were incorporated into the vast <a href="/wiki/Green_Standard_Army" title="Green Standard Army">Green Standard Army</a>. Membership in the banners became hereditary, and bannermen were granted land and income. After the defeat of the Ming dynasty, Qing emperors continued to rely on the Eight Banners in their subsequent military campaigns. After the <a href="/wiki/Ten_Great_Campaigns" title="Ten Great Campaigns">Ten Great Campaigns</a> of the mid-18th century the quality of the banner armies declined. Their failure to suppress the <a href="/wiki/Taiping_Rebellion" title="Taiping Rebellion">Taiping Rebellion</a> of the mid-19th century ruined their reputation. By the late 19th century the task of defending the empire had largely fallen upon regional armies such as the <a href="/wiki/Xiang_Army" title="Xiang Army">Xiang Army</a>.

Hunting served as a military exercise and to improve coordination between military units.</figcaption></figure> <p>From the time China was brought under the rule of the Qing dynasty, the banner soldiers became more professional and bureaucratized. Once the Manchus took over governing, they could no longer satisfy the material needs of soldiers by garnishing and distributing booty; instead, a salary system was instituted, ranks standardized, and the Eight Banners became a sort of hereditary military caste, though with a strong ethnic inflection. Banner soldiers took up permanent positions, either as defenders of the capital, Beijing, where roughly half of them lived with their families, or in the provinces, where some eighteen garrisons were established. The largest banner garrisons throughout most of the Qing dynasty were at <a href="/wiki/Beijing" title="Beijing">Beijing</a>, followed by <a href="/wiki/Xi%27an" title="Xi'an">Xi'an</a> and <a href="/wiki/Hangzhou" title="Hangzhou">Hangzhou</a>.
