The Union Defence Force are the national armed forces of the Union of Zomia, with primary responsibility for the defence of all nine Princely States. It was formed in 1971 after the purge of Zomia's paramilitary leaders, from the consolidation of the Trucial Rangers and the United Army of the Liberation.
