ggk, that's the State Militia right?
nah.... hes visiting the army spec operation in Mersing...but most of his JMF (acording to law they were regarded as state militia! im impress with your knowledge!) were ex army spec ops and the rest were trained in basic commando training. This happen somewhere in 2000 (i guess?) ever since their(JMF) heavy weapon and equipment were transfered to MAF.

I have read that the Johore Sultan have kept a 'Johore army' but have been forced to integrate these men into the MAF by Dr M(i think) Is this true?Originally Posted by ggk
The Regent of Johore , Sultan Iskandar
he did been forced to intergrate his men into MAF...... but not even the powerful (then) Dr M can defy the sultan. Eventually they only take all the JMF heavy weapon and equipment, but the JMF were never disbanded nor intergrated.

regarding the heavy weapon....you guys probably have heard this rumours about malaysian army having Milan ATGM....its been debated in some forum back then becoz , we all know MAF never puchase any Milan!
Well the JMF did, and these are the heavy weapon that been forced to be 'donated' to malaysian army....and yes MAF did have a small (very small) number of Milan.

The Sultan have his own private army of light infantry troops but what is the role of JMF? Personal protection of the Johore royalty should be one of them. Is the JMF's role some sort of the National Guard in USA?
He was trained by the Indian Army right? Saw this pic before somewhere.
only for the protection of the johore sultanate and his asset...and not national guard role.
