Haitian Army

The Haitian Army was the national military force of Haiti, established in the early 19th century to defend the country's independence. Over time, it played roles in internal security, political stability, and national development. However, due to political interference, corruption, and instability, the military was disbanded in 1995 following a corruption scandal and abuses. Since then, Haiti has relied on police and international peacekeeping missions for security. The Haitian Army's history reflects the country's struggles with governance and stability, and there has been ongoing debate about whether to reestablish a professional military force.
