Hi Peter

Cyrenaica Police/Defence Force, used after the independence of Cyrenaica from the British Administration in, I think, 1951 (I’m at work so away from my books).

All the best

Found this :

When Idris became ruler of independent Libya in 1951, he converted the Libyan Arab Force into the Cyrenaica Defense Force (CDF), a policing unit manned by eastern Bedouin loyal to the king, and a national defense force, a prototypical army primarily active in the eastern part of the country.
