- ... that the Cook Islands Local Defence Force was expected to "uphold the prestige of the Cook Islands" by putting up a token resistance if the islands were invaded?

Hi The Bushranger, review follows: article created 1 February; article exceeds minimum length, is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources (though I would recommend that page numbers are added for verifiability); I didn't find any overly close paraphrasing from the online sources; the hook is interesting, direct quote checks out to the sources and I think "token resistance" is a fair paraphrase of the units stated purposed, to prevent the islands from "easily falling into enemy hands without resistance"; a QPQ has been carried out. No issues here. SamHolt6: thanks for creating this article, I have recently started creating some for the volunteer defence forces of the East African colonies during both wars, fascinating units - Dumelow (talk) 07:57, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
