The Falkland Islands Defence Force (FIDF) is a locally maintained volunteer defence force unit, funded by the Falkland Islands Government, working alongside the UK military units based at Mount Pleasant, to ensure the security of the islands. Falkland Island nationals, British citizens, British overseas citizens and Commonwealth citizens aged between 17 and 55 are eligible to apply to join the FIDF. According to the 2006 Falkland Islands census, approximately 1,600 men and women may have been eligible to apply to join the FIDF, subject to medical clearance and selection procedure.

The main role of the FIDF is to assist in the defence of the Falkland Islands. The Force also provides an armed Fisheries Protection capability, mountain rescue and general search and rescue services, and assistance to the civil and military communities. The FIDF maintains company strength with a membership in early 2008 at 75 volunteers plus two full-time staff: a CO and a loan Permanent Staff Instructor (PSI). Based in Stanley, FIDF trains weekly to maintain Sniper/Recce, machine gun, close combat, amphibious and logistic support units, armed with Steyr AUG, GPMG and HMG. For transport, they have Landies, quad bikes and rigid raiders.
