Lozi Territorial Force

The Lozi Territorial Force (LTF) is the national military of the Republic of Lozi, a partially recognized state. The LTF was established officially in 2009 when it gained "self reliance" status from the South West African Territorial Force (SWATF) of the South African Defense Force, and consists almost entirely of the former 701 Battalion of the SWATF. With Lozi's small population of around 49,100 and the age and relative inexperience of the LTF, it is a small force of about only 4,000 active duty personnel; thus the region still relies heavily on the protection of the SWATF. The LTF is not divided into separate branches and instead consists of two infantry battalions with attached air support, and a small flotilla of river patrol boats. General Tim Kapwapwe is the current head of the Lozi Territorial Force.
