Latin Translation - GLORIA EXERCITVS

Request a little help from those with expertise.  What is the best translation of Gloria Exercitus? 

Glory of the Army?
Glory to the Army?
The glorious Army?
Something else?

Thanks, Joe

gloria is a noun (not an adjective) in nominative sg. and exercitus here should be genitive sg., so "(The) Glory of the Army".
