TA/DA for PA officers and soldiers mostly SSG probably LCB.
A Brigadier rank Officer of PA was deputed to train Qatar Internal security force called Lekwiya. This was in 2015, I dont know if he is still here or not. Limited Number of officers from PAF and PA will continue to be deputed to qatar for training the qatar internal security forces. But for more sophisticated roles, they prefer looking towards France & USA.
Friends, let us keep politics out of this thread.
Pakistanis have been working in Qatar's Armed forces for a number of decades. As Airforce instructors, soldiers, trainers Pakistanis have a history in Qatar. New programs are just building atop that relation.
GCC countries can not count on strong support from USA in case the security situation deteriorates, and that is why they are broadening their options. It is only natural to do so.
Pakistan Army has an unmatched record in dealing with Terrorism and COIN operations. It is not surprising that other countries wish to avail this expertise. It is good for building influence as well as reaping monetary and other benefits.
Ironically, A Pakistani working in Qatar Armed forces participated in a skirmish b/w Qatar and Bahrain in 90's and he was awarded Qatri Nationality for it.
It's a matter of pride for Pakistan in general and Pak Army in particular that for the security of such a big event,we are being trusted and our armed forces professionalism recognized...
Lets just say instructors, specialized personnel would be included in security committee in advisory capacity. Not that PA would handle the security of entire event
