i was wondering what other forum members would acquire for the namibian defence forces under the actual real parameters:
annual budget for armed forces roughly 80 million us dollars
tasks:
used in peacekeeping eg- congo (technically not peacekeeping as aligned with the government and not under un or oau guise)
last use was the quelling of a minor uprising/ attempted separatist take over in the north (less than 100 involved, using mortars, rpgs and assault rifles only)
roughly 10,00 personnel (just under)
Area: total: 825,418 sq km
land: 825,418 sq km
water: 0 sq km (cia world factbook)
Land boundaries:

border countries: Angola 1,376 km, Botswana 1,360 km, South Africa 967 km, Zambia 233 km (cia world factbook)
