Many Defence Forces around the world, particularly those in the Commonwealth countries were founded on the British Military System and to this day still retain many of the British Traditions, such as Rank structure, Regimental and Corp structure, Ceremonial Drill and method of Saluting.
Retained also was the Messing system such as the Sergeants' Mess and the Officers' Mess.
I have a basic knowledge of Ireland's military history and I am aware of the organisational structure of the Irish Defence Force.
However, I do have some unanswered questions and would be grateful for a response.
Did Ireland adopt any British Military Traditions, for example,
Do you render a salute the British way or say the American way?
Is your ceremonial foot drill the same as the British?
Do you have a Sergeants' Mess and an Officers' Mess and do you hold Dining In Nights?
Do you have an RSM and if not, what is the equivalent?
I notice your Military Police have red caps which is the same as the British Royal Military Police.
Does the other two Branches have their own Service Police and if so, what type of uniform distinguishes them from the other trades.
Do you have the opportunity to do Exchange Duties or Training Courses with any other country and if so, what countries?
Thanks.
