Cumberland's army at Culloden comprised 16 infantry battalions, including four Scottish units and one Irish.
 The bulk of the infantry units had already seen action at Falkirk, but had been further drilled, rested and resupplied since then.

Many of the infantry were experienced veterans of Continental service, but on the outbreak of the Jacobite rising, extra incentives were given to recruits to fill the ranks of depleted units.
On 6 September 1745, every recruit who joined the Guards before 24 September was given £6, and those who joined in the last days of the month were given £4.
In theory, a standard single-battalion British infantry regiment was 815 strong, including officers, but were often smaller in practice and at Culloden, the regiments were not much larger than about 400 men.

The government cavalry arrived in Scotland in January 1746.
Many were not combat experienced, having spent the preceding years on anti-smuggling duties.
A standard cavalryman had a Land Service pistol and a carbine, but the main weapon used by the British cavalry was a sword with a 35-inch blade.

The Royal Artillery vastly out-performed their Jacobite counterparts during the Battle of Culloden.
However, up until this point in the campaign, the government artillery had performed dismally.
The main weapon of the artillery was the 3-pounder.
This weapon had a range of 500 yards (460 m) and fired two kinds of shot: round iron and canister.
The other weapon used was the Coehorn mortar.
These had a calibre of ​4 ²⁄₅ inches (11 cm).
