Military history of Jamaica The Jamaica Defence Force ( JDF ) is the small but professional military force of Jamaica . The JDF is based upon the British military model with organization , training , weapons and traditions closely aligned with Commonwealth realms . Once chosen , officer candidates are sent to one of several British or Canadian basic officer courses depending upon which arm of service they are selected for . Enlisted soldiers are given basic training at JDF Training Depot , Newcastle or Up Park Camp , both in St . Andrew . As on the British model , NCOs are given several levels of professional training as they rise up the ranks . Additional military schools are available for speciality training in Canada , the United States , and the United Kingdom . The JDF is directly descended from the British West Indies Regiment formed during the colonial era . The West Indies Regiment was used extensively by the British Empire in policing the empire from 1795 to 1926 . Other units in the JDF heritage include the early colonial Jamaica Militia , the Kingston Infantry Volunteers of World War I and reorganized into the Jamaican Infantry Volunteers in World War II . The West Indies Regiment was reformed in 1958 as part of the West Indies Federation . The dissolution of the Federation resulted in the establishment of the JDF . The Jamaica Defence Force ( JDF ) comprises an infantry Regiment and Reserve Corps , an Air Wing , a Coast Guard fleet and a supporting Engineering Unit . The infantry regiment contains the 1st , 2nd and 3rd ( National Reserve ) battalions . The JDF Air Wing is divided into three flight units , a training unit , a support unit and the JDF Air Wing ( National Reserve ) . The Coast Guard is divided between sea - going crews and support crews . It conducts maritime safety and maritime law enforcement as well as defence - related operations . The support battalion contains a Military Police platoon as well as vehicle , armourers and supply units . The 1st Engineer Regiment provides military engineering support to the JDF . The Headquarters JDF contains the JDF Commander , Command Staff as well as Intelligence , Judge Advocate office , Administrative and Procurement sections . In recent years the JDF has been called upon to assist the nation ' s police , the Jamaica Constabulary Force ( JCF ) in fighting drug smuggling and a rising crime rate which includes one of the highest murder rates in the world . JDF units actively conduct armed patrols with the JCF in high - crime areas and known gang neighborhoods . There has been vocal controversy as well as support of this JDF role . In early 2005 , an Opposition leader , Edward Seaga , called for the merger of the JDF and JCF . This has not garnered support in either organization nor among the majority of citizens .
