It was established in September 1964, following a mutiny by the former colonial military force, the Tanganyika Rifles. From its inception, it was ingrained in the troops of the new TPDF that they were a people’s force under civilian control. Unlike some of its neighboring countries, Tanzania has never suffered a coup d’état or civil war.
The TPDF’s mission is to defend Tanzania and every Tanzanian, especially the people and their political ideology. Conscripts are obligated to serve 2 years as of 2004.

After an aborted mutiny in January 1964, the existing army was disbanded. The new force was titled the ‘Tanganyika Military Force’, from 25 January 1964 – 26 April 1964.The Tanzanian government concluded that the former British model was not appropriate for the needs of an independent African state.Fresh recruits were sourced from the Tanganyika African National Union youth wing. After the merge of Tanganyika and Zanzibar, the force was renamed the United Republic Military Force from 27 April 1964.
