Royal Falkland Islands Defence Force

The Royal Falkland Islands Defence Force is the military force of the Solomon Islands. It is primarily a light infantry force supplementing the British Armed Forces presence in the country. The RFIDF has a maritime element consisting of light patrol boats, and an air element of several helicopters, but has no fixed-wing aviation assets of its own; the Falkland Islands Government Air Service or the British Royal Air Force provides heavy air transport for the RFIDF as needed.
