Vanuatu Mobile Forces
The Vanuatu Mobile Force (VMF) is a small, mobile corps of 300 volunteers that makes up Vanuatu's military. Its primary task is to assist the Vanuatu Police Force. However, should Vanuatu be attacked, then the VMF will act as the first line of defence.[3] In 1994, VMF deployed 50 people to Papua New Guinea, as their first peacekeeping mission.[4]
