With eight players making their England debuts from the start, it took just four minutes for England to break to deadlock when Gloucester-Hartpury centre Shauna Bennett crossed.
The excellent start continued with further tries from Loughborough Lightning flanker Amelia Harper, Worcester Valkyries wing Cara Clarke and a second from Bennett saw the score sit 26-0 at half-time to England.
The Army responded with a try of their own as hooker Sarah Mimnagh went over in the 52nd minute before wing Clarke crossed for her second score five minutes later, with Harlequins fly half Ellie Green converting it to add to her three previous extras added on the day.
The team will now look ahead to home and away fixtures against France U20 in March.
