The Vanuatu Mobile Force (VMF) is a small, mobile corps of 300 volunteers that makes up Vanuatu's military. Its primary task is to assist the Vanuatu Police Force. However, should Vanuatu be attacked, then the VMF will act as the first line of defence.[3] In 1994, VMF deployed 50 people to Papua New Guinea, as their first peacekeeping mission.

The Papua New Guinea Defence Force (PNGDF) is the military organisation responsible for the defence of Papua New Guinea. It originated from the Australian Army land forces of the territory of Papua New Guinea before independence, coming into being in January 1973 and having its antecedents in the Pacific Islands Regiment. The PNGDF is a small force numbering around 2,500 personnel and consists of a Land Element, an Air Element and a Maritime Element. It is a joint force tasked with defending Papua New Guinea and its territories against external attack, as well as having secondary functions including national-building and internal security tasks.

Hello,
any photos of soldiers from Tonga during mission at Afghanistan ?
 
A Republic of Fiji Military Forces lieutenant has become one of just a handful of officers to graduate as a combat engineer troop leader after passing a gruelling Australian Army training course.

Lieutenant Viliame Tagivetaua has been training at the Puckapunyal Army Base north of Melbourne since January 2021.

“It’s been good training. I’ve learnt a lot,” Lieutenant Tagivetaua said.

“My favourite part has been the demolitions. All engineers love demolitions.”

The 47-year-old father of four has been in the Republic of Fiji Military Forces for 27 years. He joined as a sapper and has risen through the ranks.

He is one of about 30 combat engineers graduating this year from the Australian Army’s Regimental Officers Basic Course, with one of the final tests being Exercise Gauntlet Strike.

Tanks, armoured vehicles, infantry, artillery and combat engineers worked together to defeat a simulated enemy force.

Lieutenant Tagivetaua said he enjoyed working with the Australian Army’s 62-tonne M1A1 Abrams tanks.

“It’s been good to study in the classroom about tanks and now to be working with tanks in the field,” Lieutenant Tagivetaua said.

He will return to Fiji as the Alpha Troop Commander in 1 Rural Development Squadron, based in the Northern Division.

“I’ll pass onto others some of the procedures and doctrine I’ve learnt while training in Australia,” Lieutenant Tagivetaua said.
