Yes indeed the training has been increased it is to add to what Pakistan has lost along with 1 each for Afghan border and Iran Border. one special for Chinese protection. This is 4 training battalions.If you start connecting the dots this is part of the Pakistan's Military's longer-term plans for an expeditionary force focused primarily on the Middle East specifically Saudi Arabia and the Holy sites. The number of training battalions at the Pakistan Military Academy has been increased from 3 to 4 so the pipeline for officers has already been geared up. Very soon you will start hearing about hardware to support this expansion. The Saudi are fully onboard and paying for it. Pakistani troops are already in Saudi Arabia. The Yemen issue was just a minor irritant as the Pakistani did not agree with the strategy and they will be proven right very soon. Pakistani involvement in the middle east needs longer-term planning and this is all about that.
In an earlier post I had already posted the requirement.
