Estonian Defence League
The Estonian Defence League is part of the Defence Forces. The task of the Estonian Defence
League is to enchance, by relying on free will and self-initiative, the nation's readiness to
defend the independence of Estonia and its constitutional order. There are over 13 000
members in the Estonian Defence League. Together with affiliated organisations Women's
Home Defence, Young Eagles and Home Daughters, the Estonian Defence League has more
than 21 000 volunteers in action. There are also public figures in the organisation. The
Estonian Defence League unites loyal citizens who wish and are able to work voluntarily and
without receiving any remuneration for protecting the internal order of the state and
improving the sense of security. According to the Estonian Defence League Act they co-
operate with the police, local governments, border guard, rescue board and fire-fighters.
