The Finnish Rapid Deployment Force (FRDF) ((フィンランド語:Suomen Kansainvälinen Valmiusjoukko)) is the spearhead international force of the Finnish Defence Forces (FDF). It can also be used for national defence. The force is trained to participate as a part of multinational peacekeeping and "crisis management" operations and can be deployed at short notice.〔(Puolustusvoimat: Koulutus kansainvälisten kriisien hallintaan )〕 Although the FRDF is an addition to rather than a replacement for traditional peacekeeping forces, many Finnish peacekeepers have FRDF training, and FRDF soldiers are mostly used as a sort of recruitment pool for international peacekeeping missions, which may consist of a mix of normal reservists, FRDF-trained reservists and professional soldiers (mostly officers). Formed in 1996, the first battalion became operational in 1998. Elements of the group were first deployed in 1999 as a part of the KFOR operation in Kosovo.〔(Puolustusvoimat: Valmius osallistua )〕 ==Order of battle== The FRDF currently consists of:〔 *A mechanized jäger battalion (''Jääkäripataljoona 101'') equipped with Sisu Pasi APCs *A combat engineer battalion (''Pioneeripataljoona 102'') *A CIMIC company *A Navy ''Hämeenmaa'' class minelayers *HQ officers *Military observers *A brigade-level communications- and command system. *6 F-18C Hornet fighter aircraft and 200-300 personnel from the Finnish Air Force.〔(Puolustusvoimat: Ilmavoimat järjestää kansainvälisen ilmapuolustusharjoituksen toukokuussa )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Finnish Rapid Deployment Force」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
