The '''Ulster Volunteer Force''' (UVF) is a Loyalist paramilitary group that was formed in 1966. The group adopted the name of the previous [[Ulster Volunteer Force (1912)|UVF]] which was formed in 1912 to oppose, by armed force, the arrangements for [[Home Rule]] in Ireland. The aim of the present UVF is to ensure that [[Northern Ireland]]'s constitutional position within the [[United Kingdom]] is secure.
