I'm going start post with guard of honour unit.

In Nathional armed forces (NAF) we have Staff batalion (SBn) with company of guards of honour. SBn is only one unit wich restored from interwar times (1918-1940). The unit was established in 1919.

After the restore of independence in 1991, Latvia was extremly poor country. GDP was approximataly 5-6 billions of USD (for example, in 1995 Netherlands GDP was ~450 billions USD). First uniforms and equipment of Defence forcees was insuffiecent.

Nowadays the situation is much better.

Hello everyone!

I'm going to publice some information about Latvian NAF, police and other services uniforms, ranks etc.

In general: Latvia was an independece state between world wars (1918-1940) and after collapse of USSR (1991) until today. Since 2004 Latvia is member of EU and NATO.

Hello everyone!

I'm really interested into
- The indepedence wars of Eastern European countries (Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, etc.) 1917-1921.
- Eastern European armies in late thirties (1930) and their capabilities to fight against Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
- NATO and neutral states (Sweden, Switzerland) plans to defend their homelands against Warsaw pact.
-Military sociology.
-Information operations&psyops
- etc.
