The Belize Volunteer Guard, with roots back to 1814, was a battalion size unit that operated along the lines of the U.K. Territorial Army.
The Police Special Force was a regular paramilitary unit of a company size strength. This Unit was formed 10 years prior to 1978 to maintain law and order in remote and rural areas.
Members of both units formed the nucleus of the BDF. The BDF has evolved into a Brigade size unit over the years, with land, sea and air elements.
