Lagash Defense Force

The Lagash Defense Force, or LDF refers to the combined ground and aerospace forces of the Outer Colony of Lagash, formed following its resettlement in 2553. The LDF, originally simply known as the Lagash Militia, was established early on in the recolonization process to allow the people of Lagash to form an organized defense against raiders and pirates in the absence of a permanent UNSC presence on the colony. Due to massive manpower shortages following the end of the Human-Covenant War, the UNSC was unable to establish permanent garrisons on most of the new colonies established by the Human in Every Habitat Program, and as a result, colonies began seeing an increase in UNSC-sanctioned and supported colonial militaries, capable of providing both atmospheric and exoatmospheric defenses.
