The Fiji Military Forces (RFMF) continues to fulfill its constitutional duty of safeguarding the nation’s security amid evolving global threats. This commitment was highlighted by Major-General Jone Kalouniwai, Commander of the RFMF, during closing remarks at the 6th and 8th FIR Battalion Annual Camp Exercise in Nasinu.
Kalouniwai emphasized that the RFMF is not merely a crisis response institution but one that engages in strategic preparation and proactive leadership. He stated, “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 recent progress as a foundation for a stronger and resilient military capable of adapting to future challenges.
This message of steadfastness and growth aligns with previous remarks from Home Affairs Minister Pio Tikoduadua, who underscored the importance of the RFMF’s role in upholding democratic principles and serving the people rather than focusing solely on military might. Tikoduadua’s speeches, delivered during military recruitment ceremonies, have consistently conveyed a vision of a disciplined force committed to public service and future leadership.
As the RFMF reflects on training and operational capabilities, it aims to cultivate leaders who embody the values essential for national unity and service. This ongoing evolution signifies not just a transition in military strategy but also a hopeful commitment to fostering a society where security and leadership in service harmonize with democratic values.
The current efforts and strategic vision articulated by Major-General Kalouniwai and Minister Tikoduadua suggest an optimistic and collaborative future for the Fiji Military Forces, fostering a unified approach to national security that prioritizes the well-being of all citizens.
