- The Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) Armed Forces Day Parade 2020 was held on Friday July 31 at the JDF Polo Field, Up Park Camp, Kingston. Armed Forces Day, which is traditionally used to mark significant events in the history of the Force and notable events in the Nation’s history, was first held in 1981. Over three hundred soldiers including members of the Massed Bands and Corps of Drums of the Jamaica Defence Force were on parade at the event.
This year’s parade focused on acknowledging the JDF’s commitment to its mission, celebrating service to the Nation, and recognizing the individual hard work and dedication of the troops. The Governor-General, His Excellency the Most Honourable Sir Patrick Allen and the Prime Minister, The Most Honourable Andrew Holness, accompanied by Chief of Defence Staff, Lieutenant General Rocky Meade, handed out over 153 Medals of Honour for General Service to select members of the JDF on the Parade.
United States Marine here. Serving currently. I know I would have served in the JDF if I still was back home. Warms my heart to see my brothers and sisters in arms doing so good.
I remember those parade days. I enlisted in the West India Regiment in 1961 and then it changed to The JDF When Jamaica received its independence in 1962. I served 6 wonderful years. I’m proud to be an old soldier
Remember playing in the Jccf band with sergeant ambersly now I’m a student fighter pilot for the Royal Air Force
A never remember ambersly eno
I’m a SGT in the US Army, but I’m sure if I was still home I’d be in the JDF. I loved this.
Really embarrassing, they are just copying the British Army.... shamefully
@@ThePennanera Hmmmm.. I wonder why that is.... (sarcasm)
@@ThePennanera What’s wring with that? One of the greatest armies on earth. America has copied things from other militaries too.
@@ThePennanera the Queen is the head of state of Jamaica.
1996 JATP Right you are. Actually her official title as per convention and constitution is Queen of Jamaica

One day you too shall adorn the beautful military dress (red, white, green)
I hope your dreams come true. I'm a big fan of the JDF. I Attend the church parade most Sunday's on line Bless you all. There services from the regimental church take me back to how lucky I was to be brought in those teachings. Best wishes Natalee. From England, Henry FACEY.
@@henryjohnfacey8213 thank you❤🌹🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I appreciated😊🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤
Wow the same vehicle for 58 years? So well maintained that is impressive. Well done JDF
I remember the days on those parade. I was enlisted February 1990 and spend 6 years in the JDF. I see Soldiers on the Parade the Parade from my time
What intake was that
Intake 65
From the UK love the uniforms and the music🇬🇧🇯🇲
I love the jdf mi dream to be a soldier
One day you will
Weldone to all, miss these days. Special shout out to my party ssgt, darkins.
Wisdom Wally here man how are you bro?
Question...why is the British Grenadier playing.... What happened to Swing March?
Because the JDF is still the British Queen army. Jamaica got partial independence from England. The army, University and a few more institutions still belong to the Queen of England.
@@reddiamond6688 Yeah sad times.
Amazing to see this beautiful ❤️❤️❤️😇🙏🏽💯
This resembles the British Armed Forces Annual Trooping of The Colours.
That’s where the training and doctrine is from.
Tony Tone I know but we can definitely create a parade unique to us but it’s early and we have a lot to do. So good job JDF 👍🏾
Well that's why JDF have some of the finest looking uniforms🇯🇲🇬🇧
Mark White the scarlet tunic is steeped in BRITISH history. Honestly, it’s time for us to move on.
The JDF look very very smart on the occasion, those that are trained at Sandhurst and with the Royal Marines wow you can see the training. There are some sloppy moments such as not standing still, and movement after commands are given. So, we now need to see a squad or platoon from the Air wing taking part in these parades.
Airwing is on the parade. They have on the light blue hat
The Officers are British Sandhurst and CTC trained the enlisted and ncos are locally trained.
My Dad was garrisoned at Up Park Camp Jamaica BWI 1941-1942 1st Bn The Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders of Canada (PL) they relieved the 1st Bn The Winnipeg Grenadiers who went to Hong Kong and met with disaster!
Impressive ceremony

Petty officer from the Guyana Defense Force Coastguard special congrats very wonderful parade
I remember those days. That land rover is priceless now.

A spirit of friendship.
As a U.S. Army Veteran I was an original member of the first Cadet Corp at Holy Trinity Secondary school and would definitely be a member of the JDF. Also as a former instructor I met numerous JDF soldiers who were students here in the U.S. and became lifelong friends. During my active duty time I made it a practice to visit with them at Up Park Camp on every visit home for vacation and will always be a supporter of my JDF. My wish is to be able to work with the JDF upon my retirement even in a volunteer position so as to assist in making improvements for our soldiers and police.
I believing almighty God to do great things for JDF in Jamaica, I got the JDF to do great things in Jamaica, with those heartless thugs.
I don't know if the churches in Jamaica know how serious it is for, JCF and JDF people that really fighting to bring back Jamaica to it's natural state, I believe in prayer and fasting for the JCF and JDF, that want to see good in the place, police them leaving they house 🏡 and children to go out to protect the law abiding people, and that why the people that called themselves Christians need to wake up and see what sin is doing to them and pray for the JCF and JDF peace ✌️ in the land.

Am always proud when i see these kinds of things. Other counties may have a lot over us, yet still, our Jamaican pride and people are like none other
I see me
🤔 I wonder , are these soldiers truly Jamaicans. If so, who are they really trained to fight against and why ? Who are their enemies???
My ancestors who fought and died for us they wasn’t dressed like the English slave masters so just look 👀 into the tricks 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The flag protocol states that the flag should never be allowed to touch the ground. Why was it almost fully on the ground during the playing of the anthem?
Those are not flags those are colors
Thank you for the clarification.
🇯🇲🙏🐊
Love the female commentator audiobility,cnn should seek her services,flow of command in the jdf is awesome,respect british army products
Wonderful I'm so proud of my fellow Jamaicans
1DAY🙏🏿👏
World War Two , R. A. F. Mosquito Squadron . Number I believe ,was 139 " Jamaica Squadron " , 1942/43 to 1945/46 . Thank you .
I never knew governor general is more powerful than prime minister
Lol yes
I see my cousin good going all 😁🥳😎
Who else was expecting reggae
Bro we are not all laid back rastafarians.
@@Lordkeepmesafe I never knew that
This is crazy, a so impoverished country with armed forces. Ridiculous
Jamaica is not impoverished .its a second income develped country. go study
they have army ,naval,and Air. and the first fighterpilot ttraining accademyin the carribean .
true no point in having an armed force especially a small island, that money that could be spent on making the social system better
Do you even know the real size of jamaica? the main island is 10.900 sq,kilometres. the rest of its territory is 25 times bigger. totaling. 272,500.sq klm.
that is jamaicas total size .even after losing the cayman islands that was part of jamaica. so to protect all its assets jamaica is still not protected .the military is still too small .so jamaica really needs a blue water navy,and a air force to reach its other 28 islands and protect its sea from drug trafic ,arms ,and invasion.
they just got a bigger new coast guard cutter called ..Nanny of the Maroons,jamaica is not any insinifican little island as most of you think.if it was a white nation island .you all would not be so critical of its development-only when an African nation try to stand on its own 2 feet it gets negative criticisim .
do you critisise the small country of israel ,or other poor nations.? jamaica is too important to be left unprotected.
Oludum Mo yes it’s a small country at the end of the day that’s not really involve in world affairs . As a small island military isn’t necessary just like Costa Rica and panama . you’re a big dreamer I must say . Blue water navy is a world wide navy which will never happen. It cost too much and a waste of money since it’s not involve in any thing that requires it. Being a white nation has nothing to do with this ... you’re trying too hard now
@UJMX You said all of that but my point still stands.. lol just the matter of changing the word armed forces to defense forces and the sentence still rings true
Bruh the song was british grenadiers at the beggining
JDF forever in my heart 🚩
Trinidad didn’t even do this they wack
Congratulations to the JDF on a very impressive parade!! Great turnout. (Nigerian/ex-British Army).
Thank you JDF for your service and a memorable parade. (Ex Brit Army Bajan)

Much love Jdf from a Kenyan soldier
Is it just me who had the guy at 6.44 saying its showtime
Funny how most colonies hated their colonial masters but in the end adopted the European traditions of their former masters.
The same way that the ancient Northern Europeans who were colonized by the Romans also adopted Roman practices.
Well done you guys make us proud
Looking very sloppy. Smh!
I'm os kasumu Adedapo babatunde I'm in the Nigerian navy..
beautiful parade!!!
I love the fact that military ceremony is one...
Spectacular , awesome , and a smart looking and we'll disciplined force . Thank you .
Good job soldiers.
USA, China, Russia : welp..is this Military parade??/
This is some kind of form up to award those soldiers for the job they have done and not regular parade performed on national holidays like Chinese do on October 1 or Russian victory day parade, US parade is not even real parade but walking.
Congrats to the J.D.F.lots of respect.
We2021 raulor intime we2021 wind and love all of we7
Some of the uniforms look ill fitted 🧐
Love to JDF from Trinidad and Tobago .
same to you guys down there in beautiful Trinidad

JAMAICA🇯🇲
Are their going to get more money, for the excellent work.
When dem sight de suit, dem salute....
Beautiful makes me so proud to be Jamaican, we need to do more things like this to remind the world that we are still here. Living in America I wish our government was as professional looking as Jamaica. One complaint though, please get the flag from off the dirt it is very disrespectful to let your country flag lay on the ground.
I don’t know much about all the flags type or style in Jamaica, that flag on the ground is not the flag of Jamaica. There is a crest of some sort on that flag. I’m fully confident the JDF knows how to service our flag!
That not the flag, it the colours of the flag. The Jamaican flag have nothing added to it. you notice that this flag have on a cress and tassels on it. This flag only touch the ground when the national anthem is played,
That's not the national flag it is the regimental colours.Ifyou notice an insignia is in its centre
It's the regimental colours . nothing the insignia and tassels.This is done at the anthem l
Keep it up for Jesus same way
It is great to be young.
🇯🇲👍🏾 great job ladies and gentlemen 👏🏾🇯🇲. My utmost respects to the JDF. This occasion reminds me of my annual H/Sch parade; I was a member of the JCCF. Nuff respects to our commander, 2nd Lieutenant Chen; our CSM Graham, C; our drill Sergeant, Buchanan “Bucky” 😃, he was SO serious 😆; him nuh laff wid nobaddy! 🤣...ahh bwaay,😏; life back inna the ‘80s💯👍🏾🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲. God bless our land 🇯🇲. 🙏🏾
Congratulations JDF. In the true spirit of friendship. Best wishes to Natalee Facey from England. I just love the singing and readings on church parade, from the church service from Upton Park.
The ceremony was excellent. I am a proud mother. I pray God continue to bless and keep all the soldiers and I'll be standing in the gap for my daughter Private Cole A. Thank you JDF for sharing with us, i trust that in the future, when Covid is over we will be compensated with a face to face ceremony.
Can I be the general
Where's Bob Marley
him inside your bedroom
Covid 19 affect. Now mi miss Bob Williams 😢 and Bagga Martin.
Dugi you talk it like joke but I was just thinking about those men Bob Williams, Bagga Martin, Animal and the Great Norman D
@@informationminister479 fi real. Big ups to Gugu Green for sticking it so long. Real troops!!!
Hey have you ever notice the outfits that they wear those suits represent the slave masters but we are tricked to be thinking 💭 that we are free 😂😂😂
Spoken like a true coward. I bet you would not defend the women or children of your country from internal or external attacks. You would just flee.
@@flora-3603 well I can’t stop 🛑 no one from thinking 💭 and having their own opinion 😅😅😅😄
It's good look
Yeah neat
Not a bad parade the 1 concern is that the parade commander does not escort H.E, it his aide and the chief of defence staff from the official residence unto the parade square for the presidential salute followed by the national anthem.
This I like!
Former soldier Svea Livgarde, Sweden.
It's me dayday
Congrats JDF
Love to all the West Indians who have served here or home much respect. Now can someone tell me why is the Jamaican on the ground?. No national flag should be lowered that low, present it but don't disrespect it.
Excellent work in the JDF nice. I hope and pray that the prime minister, give JDF more money 💰 so they don't got do wrong things for money.
Love Army into Tall Boots!! 💕👮🏿♂️🇪🇺
Amen
GET SOME‼️🍻
