Belize Defence Force

The Belize Defence Force (BDF) is the military organization responsible for the defense and security of Belize, a small Central American nation. Established in 1978, the BDF consists of the army, air wing, and reserve forces. Its primary roles include protecting the country's sovereignty, assisting in disaster relief, and supporting law enforcement. The BDF often collaborates with international partners for training and joint exercises. Given Belize's diverse environment, the force is also involved in environmental protection and border security, helping to maintain stability in the region.
