The Republic of Fiji Military Forces (RFMF) is still a relevant institution in Fiji and has a lot to do for the country.

Commander Major-General Ro Jone Kalouniwai says the army is more than “uniforms and guns”.

During an interview on The Lens@177, Ro Kalouniwai says there has been a lot of discussion on what the productivity of the RFMF was.

He said the military played a crucial role in peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.

“So, productivity is something people look at in terms of dollar value. The RFMF has a different way of doing things,” he said.

He also said if given the option, he would look at recruiting more officers.
