IDF is recognised Internationally as the Israeli Defence Forces, so that one is taken.
As for our jargon, Im 10 yrs out, and they seem to have reinvented it since...

I'm sure someone will correct me on this, but my impression is that when people here refer to the Defence Forces, or the PDF or the RDF, they don't usually mean the Naval Service or the Air Corps, so why not just call it the Army? Then it could the Army of the Irish Republic (AIR), or even the Irish Republican Army (IRA) - any problems?
Now does this may ye all feel better. Its from Wikipedia
IDF or idf may stand for:
A military force:
the Iceland Defense Force
the Irish Defence Forces
the Israel Defense Forces A military term:
Indirect fire A geographic area:
Île-de-France (province) (historical) of France
Île-de-France (région) of France. An Initialism:
The AIDC F-CK Indigenous Defence Fighter (of Taiwan)
Intel Developer Forum
Intermediate distribution frame (in Telephony and Computer networking)
the International Diabetes Federation
the International Dairy Federation - collaboration on milk and milk products
Inverse Document Frequency
the Islamic Dawah Foundation
the Indian Development Foundation
inertial damping field, an inertial compensator in the Star Trek fictional universe*
inter-dimensional fatigue, a concept in the Star Control universe
So depending on context IDF means what ever you want!!!!!!!!!!!
If you have to do it, you always have to do it right. Either it makes a difference, or it’s good practice so that when it does make a difference, it gets done right.
I know it is highly ignorant of me to imagine that everyone on this board would understand that I meant IDF in this context to mean the Irish Defence Forces.
Some of our gear is stamped Defence Forces Ireland, hence DFI. problem solved, lock the thread and lets get on with watching the paint peel off the ceiling.

Just did a search of military.ie. No where on the board does the abbreviation "IDF" come up. There are 3 references to "DF" (although two of these should read "Fd") on the site.
Did the same on defence.ie, again no references to "IDF", 6 references to "DF"
