dbo:abstract
  • Die Komponenten der Landstreitkräfte Jamaikas unterstehen, wie der Air Wing und die Coast Guard, direkt dem Hauptquartier (HQ) der Jamaica Defence Force (JDF). Sitz der Stäbe ist im Up Park Camp, Kingston. Gegründet wurde die JDF am 31. Juli 1962, also wenige Tage vor der Unabhängigkeit Jamaikas am 6. August des Jahres. Sie ging aus dem West India Regiment (WIR) hervor. Die Landstreitkräfte stellen keine wirkliche Teilstreitkraft dar, sondern übernehmen teilstreitkraftübergreifende Aufgaben, ähnlich der Streitkräftebasis in der Bundeswehr. Zu den Aufgaben neben der territorialen Verteidigung oblagen den Streitkräften von Beginn an polizeidienstliche Aufgaben. (de)

  • The Jamaica Regiment is the main formation of land troops in the Jamaica Defence Force. It is a non-mechanised infantry regiment consisting of five battalions, three regular infantry battalions, one territorial infantry battalion, and a Combat Support Battalion. A fifth infantry battalion (5 JR) is starting to be formed. The regiment has two main operational missions: * The territorial defence of Jamaica. * Assisting the Jamaica Constabulary Force with local law enforcement. It also has been known to provide public duties in for the government and the capital on behalf of the JDF. The regiment has two main camps. Traditionally, the two regular battalions (1 JR and 2 JR) rotated annually between them. This approach is evolving towards a geographic deployment in three regions. The battalion at Up Park Camp in Kingston has a commitment to assisting the local police in maintaining law and order, while the battalion at Moneague Training Camp in Moneague, St Ann is mainly committed to anti-drug patrols. In 2018 the Jamaican government decided to have an enhanced, regional structure for the Jamaica Regiment. Thus, it decided to add a third regular battalion (4 JR) to support the police in Jamaica's central region. In addition, the regiment is one of the main units that supplies United Nations peacekeeping troops for situations in the Caribbean region. (en)
