The Counter Revolutionary Warfare Unit or CRWU was the common name for the First Meridian Squadron, the unit's formal name, which had been disbanded in 2000.〔(Fiji Army order of battle 2002 (Leigh Ingram-Seal). ) Retrieved on 21 September 2008.〕 It was the only special forces group of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces, and was the brainchild of former Military Commander and former Prime Minister, Major-General Sitiveni Ligamamada Rabuka.〔(From Fiji to Fallujah: The war in Iraq and the privatisation of private security. ) Retrieved on 22 September 2008.〕 The unit had gained notoriety in Fiji for being involved in the Fijian 2000 coup d'état〔(The trial and after. ) Retrieved on 21 September 2008.〕 and the subsequent court martial of the renegade CRW soldiers involved, as well as being accused for attempting to assassinate Frank Bainimarama after he took power by overthrowing the illegal, civilian, Fijian government that took power from Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry in the 2000 Fijian coup d'état.〔(Accused in Fiji court over plot to kill regime leaders. ) Retrieved on 21 September 2008.〕 Its founding officer Ilisoni Ligairi had also gained notoriety alongside his unit for participating in the mutinies.〔(Fiji uprising. ) Retrieved on 22 September 2008.〕 == Origin ==
Although Rabuka was mainly responsible for his initiating the unit's existence, it is widely regarded that the unit's founding father, organizer and director was former British 22nd Regiment Special Air Service officer, Major Ilisoni Ligairi BEM, a retired SAS Permanent Staff instructor who, upon returning to Fiji for retirement after serving a 20-year stint with the 22 and 21 SAS regiments in Great Britain in 1984, was called up for service at the request of Sitiveni Rabuka to form the elite unit in 1987.〔(Political crisis intensifies as Fiji's chiefs encourage racialist gunmen. ) Retrieved on 19 September 2008.〕
