The Royal Moroccan Armed Forces (القوات المسلحة الملكية المغربية) were founded in the year of independence (1956) as the Forces Armees Royales (FAR), and today consist of the Royal Army, Royal Moroccan Air Force, Royal Navy, Royal Gendarmerie, and the Royal Guard. In total, approximately 256,000 active duty personnel comprise the entire armed forces. The Royal Moroccan Army fought on the Golan front during the Yom Kippur War of 1973, and intervened decisively in the 1977 conflict known as Shaba I to save Zaire's regime. They also sent a small contingent to assist coalition forces during the Persian Gulf War. Moroccan forces continue to wage a counter-insurgency campaign in Moroccan-governed Western Sahara against the Polisario Front (Frente Popular de Liberación de Saguía el Hamra y Río de Oro), an Algerian-backed national liberation movement seeking independence for Western Sahara. Morocco is also an active participant in many UN-sponsored peacekeeping missions, including MONUC, ONUCI, EUFOR, KFOR and MINUSTAH.
