The Armed Forces of Senegal consists of the army, air force, navy, and
gendarmerie. The Senegal military force receives most of its training,
equipment, and support from France and the United States.
Military
noninterference in political affairs has contributed to Senegal's stability
since independence. Senegal has participated in many international and regional
peacekeeping missions. As one of the largest troop contributors in Africa (per
capita) to African Union missions, United Nations missions, and other regional
security organizations, the Senegalese military has proven itself to be one of
the most effective and reliable militaries on the African continent.
The
war flag of the Armed Forces is based on the national flag, almost square, the
national motto 2UN PEUPLE, UN BUT, UNE FOI” is written in upper part, while
“HONNEUR ET PATRIE” (Honour and Homeland) is written in lower part of the flag. A
golden wreath is placed in each corner of the flag. Various symbols or
abbreviations could be placed inside the wreath.
