What's new

Bangladesh Army

. . .
What internet fan boys say is irrelevant as talking out of our rears is our national sport.
The 10 area commands make up 90%+ of the strength with troop levels in each hovering around 15-20k troops. Strength is currently hovering around 200K mark.
Ask any senior army officer.
New divisions coming up. Existing converted to mechanized slowly. I would have no worries have even 200k if the infantry is mechanized and artillery is expanded
No local companies. At least not yet.
All defence production and R&D (limited) are managed by the military.

All local defence equipment contractors are local agents for foreign companies.
I don’t remember he name but a private defence company sold some sort of sensors to india.
If someone remembers please mention

Passing out parade for new recruits to the army in Bhatiary, Chittagong. Not privy to the event details.

Dad is already an Army man and both parents happy for their young son in the Army (looks like he did have para-commando training).

Parachutist not paracommando. Can't train basic and specialist commando at the same time.

Yep. Commandos wear red beret
Well, red/brown berets in BA are not exclusive to the 1st Parracommando brigade as AMC, ADC, and CMP also wear them. Besides, qualified commandos deployed outside of 1st Paracimmando Brigade do not necessarily wear red/brown berets as the colour is dictated by the unit they are deployed to. All commandos have a parent corp.

The definitive way to identify a commando qualified soldier is to look for the commando patch on the upper arm as they wear this regardless of what unit they are deployed to.
If they are deployed to the first parracommando brigade, they also wear the light brown berret with the unit insignita and shoulder rank badges stating "COMMANDO" next to ranks.
