Wikipedia article: “Iceland Defense Force”:
Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“The Iceland Defense Force (IDF) was a military
command of the United States Armed Forces from 1951 to 2006. The IDF, created
at the request of NATO, came into existence when the United States signed an
agreement to provide for the defense of Iceland, which did not, and does not,
have its own unified defense force.
The IDF was formally headquartered at Naval Air
Station Keflavík, though its base was actually at Miðnesheiði near Keflavík.
Commander, Iceland Defense Force was a U.S. Navy Rear Admiral with three other
titles and roles: Commander, Iceland Sector ASW Group (CTG-84.1), Commander,
Fleet Air Keflavik, and NATO Island Command Iceland. Commander Fleet Air
Keflavik (COMFAIRKEF) was the senior Navy command in Iceland, responsible for
the operational readiness of Navy units assigned. The commander of Fleet Air
Keflavik was the operational commander in charge of all Navy and anti-submarine
warfare operations. Administratively, COMFAIRKEF reported to Commander, Naval
Air Force U.S. Atlantic Fleet, located in Norfolk, Virginia.”
