The Lesotho DefenceForce LDF is the army and air force Air Wing of Lesotho . There is no conscription in Lesotho. Of 400,457 2005 est. males age 18 49, the CIA https www.cia.gov library publications the world factbook geos lt.html estimates 162,857 are fit for military service. Military expenditures 32.3 million 2004 2.3 2004 of GDP. The Lesotho Government in 1999 began an open debate on the future structure, size, and role of the armed forces, especially considering the Lesotho DefenceForce s LDF history of intervening in political affairs. In 2001, under an agreement with India, an Indian Army Training Team IATT started training the LDF. By 2011, it is widely perceived that the LDF is well on its way to becoming a professional and apolitical force. Indeed, there has been no instance since the arrival of the IATT when the LDF has interfered with the political process. It also won approbation when, on 22 April 2009, its soldiers beat back a mercenary attack on the Prime Minister s residence. The Force currently has a strength of approximately 3100. It has a fair representation of female soldiers. All commissioned officers have to first serve in the ranks for at least three years. It is led by a three star General, Lt Gen E T Motanyane.
