The Commonwealth of the Bahamas became a colony of the British Crown in 1718 with a plantation economy. During the 19th century the African population increased dramatically, particularly after the British abolition of slavery. The island nation remained a British protectorate until 1973 when it was granted independence.
The Royal Bahamas Defence Force (RBDF) provides for the security of the nation. It is essentially a naval unit, supplemented by a small Air wing, Special Operations Unit and a Commando Wing.

- Members of the Special Operations Unit and Commando Wing have historically worn the US m81 woodland pattern camouflage BDU.
