| Defense - Zimbabwe | | | | | |
At independence, then Prime Minister Mugabe declared that integrating Zimbabwe's then three armed forces would be one of his governments top priorities. The existing Rhodesian forces were combined with the two guerilla armies--the 20,000-strong ZANLA forces of ZANU-PF and the 15,000-strong ZIPRA forces of PF-ZAPU. In July 1994 the combined Zimbabwe Defense Forces Headquarters was created. Currently the armed forces of Zimbabwe are completely integrated and are composed of an army (ZNA) and an air force (AFZ). As of late 2004, the ZNA had an active duty strength of 33,000 and the air force about 4,000 men. In 1999, the Government of Zimbabwe sent a sizeable military force into the Democratic Republic of Congo to support the government of President Laurent Kabila. Those forces were largely withdrawn in 2002. |
