Military of Portuguese Macau

Plaque of the Macau Military Club, in operation 1870–1995.

Macau was under Portuguese rule from 1557 until 1999. During the final period of colonial administration prior to the handover of Macau to China, Portugal retained only limited numbers of military personnel in Macau for liaison and support purposes; the last major units having been withdrawn following the Carnation Revolution of 1974.

The Macao Garrison of the People's Liberation Army was established in 1999.[1]
