The Fiji Military Forces (RFMF) is reaffirming its constitutional duty to safeguard national security amidst shifting global threats. Major-General Jone Kalouniwai, Commander of the RFMF, articulated this commitment during the closing remarks at the 6th and 8th FIR Battalion Annual Camp Exercise in Nasinu.
Kalouniwai stressed that the RFMF operates as more than a mere crisis response entity; it is dedicated to strategic preparedness and proactive leadership. He remarked, “The roadmap we forge today strengthens our national defense, enhances regional partnerships, and ensures that the RFMF remains a pillar of strength for our nation.” He views the recent advancements made as a foundation for a more robust military that can effectively tackle future challenges.
This message resonates with earlier statements from Home Affairs Minister Pio Tikoduadua, who highlighted the vital role of the RFMF in upholding democratic principles. Tikoduadua’s consistent visions during military recruitment events portray the RFMF as a disciplined force focused on public service and future leadership rather than sheer military strength.
The RFMF’s focus on refining training and operational capacities aims to develop leaders who exemplify the values necessary for national unity and service. This evolution not only represents a shift in military strategy but also demonstrates a hopeful commitment to creating a society where security and leadership coexist with democratic values.
The synergistic efforts and strategic outlook expressed by Major-General Kalouniwai and Minister Tikoduadua suggest a promising future for the Fiji Military Forces, fostering a cooperative approach to national security that emphasizes the importance of citizen well-being. This unified focus can lead to a strengthened society, ensuring that the military serves as a guardian of peace and stability for all Fijians.
