Military of Tuvalu

Tuvalu has no regular military forces, and spends no money on the military. Its police force includes a Maritime Surveillance Unit for search and rescue missions and surveillance operations. The police have a Pacific-class patrol boat ("Te Mataili") provided by Australia under the Pacific Patrol Boat Program for use in maritime surveillance and fishery patrol.
