Republic of Fiji

The Republic of Fiji Islands has a small military force of around 3500 personnel (Republic of Fiji Military Forces, or RFMF). They are nevertheless frequently participants in peacekeeping efforts, having a permanent position as part of the MFO (Military Force & Observers) in the Sinai, and have served in Lebanon, Iraq and East Timor with the United Nations. The standard combat uniform of the RFMF remains plain olive green to this day. However, use of camouflage items by individual soldiers has been tolerated, and issue at unit level authorized, since the mid- or late-1980s.

Camouflage of Fiji

  • Some units of the RFMF have been issued US m81 woodland camouflage pattern uniforms in the 1980s and 1990s. At least two distinct variations of the woodland design have been documented, although it is possible others exist. Extant samples of the uniforms suggest they were made in Australia, the Philippines, or Thailand.
