Jamaica Defence Force Armed Forces Day Parade 2020

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.
