Lesotho Defence Force

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lesotho Defence Force (LDF) is the army and Air Wing of Lesotho.

There is no conscription in Lesotho.

Of 400,457 (2005 est.) males age 18-49, the CIA [1] estimates 162,857 are fit for military service.

Military expenditures: $32.3 million (2004) 2.3% (2004) of GDP.

The Lesotho Government in 1999 began an open debate on the future structure, size, and role of the armed forces, especially considering the Lesotho Defence Force's (LDF) history of intervening in political affairs.
