The constitution of Namibia defines the role of the military as ''"defending the territory and national interests."'' Namibia's military was born from the integration of the formerly belligerent People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN), military wing of the South West African People's Organization, and the South West African Territorial Force (SWATF) - a security arm of the former South African administration. The British formulated the force integration plan and began training the NDF, which consists of five battalions and a small headquarters element.〔http://www.satruth.co.za/peace.htm. Retrieved June 2009〕 The United Nations Transitional Assistance Group (UNTAG)'s Kenyan infantry battalion remained in Namibia for three months after independence to assist in training the NDF and stabilize the north. Martin Shalli and Charles 'Ho Chi Minh' Namoloh were involved in the negotiations that allowed the Kenyan infantry battalion to remain for that period. ==Purpose== The main roles of the Namibian Defence Force are to ensure the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country by guarding against external aggression, both conventional and unconventional; prevent violation of Namibia’s territorial integrity; and provide assistance to civil authorities in guarding and protecting government buildings and key installations as provided in the Defence Act.〔Namibian Ministry of Defence, (Ministry of Defence - Introduction ). Retrieved September 2009〕 However Berman and Sams said in 2000 that effectiveness was limited: basic skills are limited and troops suffer from a 'range of diseases.'〔Berman, Eric G.; Sams, Katie E., Peacekeeping In Africa: Capabilities And Culpabilities - Geneva, Switzerland : United Nations Publications, 2000, p.415-457〕 This may imply that capability is greatly hampered by extensive HIV/AIDS infection amongst soldiers. Defence spending and percentage of GDP included $90 million in 1997/98, 2.6% of GDP. The 73.1 million figure in 2002 was 2.4% of GDP. These figures are almost certainly CIA World Factbook estimates. 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「Namibian Defence Force」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
