Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

This small, sovereign island nation in the eastern Caribbean (part of the Lesser Antilles arc) has no regular military force. The Royal Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force (RSVGPV) assumes responsibility for law enforcement as well as internal security of the island. Formed in 1999 and consisting of just under 700 personnel, the RSVGPV also includes a small Coast Guard and a Special Service Unit.

• Members of the Special Service Unit wear woodland pattern camouflage fatigues that are essentially identical to those formerly worn by US military personnel.
