sentences:  The "Forces Armées de la République Démocratique du Congo" (FARDC) consist of about 144,000 personnel, the majority of whom are part of the land forces, also with a small air force and an even smaller navy.The FARDC was established in 2003 after the end of the Second Congo War and integrated many former rebel groups into its ranks.Due to the presence of undisciplined and poorly trained ex-rebels, as well as a lack of funding and having spent years fighting against different militias, the FARDC suffers from rampant corruption and inefficiency.
