@Signalian sb,
.....I came across an army officer of the
111 Brigade,.....
Ages since this famed military unit was seen performing its most well known maneuver. High time, isnt it?
Regards
You should know more.
One of the 111 Bde's well known maneuver was in 1971 war, when On 10 December, 111 Brigade overran the Indian Army positions at Darh and Raipur crossing and competed with 2nd Armored Bde and 20 Inf bde to secure a bridgehead across river Tawi, pushing Indian Army's 66 infantry Bde further back.
Another well known maneuver in 2007 was 111 Brigade assisting the Rangers and SSG in completing the operation and in capturing high-value targets inside the Lal Masjid complex. The brigade's participation in the Red Mosque situation led to a successful special military operation.
In 2010, the 111th Brigade had taken over the control of Islamabad Capital Territory, and provided the intense and tight security for both the Chinese Premier and Pakistan's PM, in role of a security and Quick Response Force (QRF).
111 Bde is also winner of peacetime sports and training events,
The maneuver you are trying to mention is the participation in coup ? But thats just one of the tasks it can do.
The 111 Bde is versatile as you can see, it has blasted Indian behinds in 1971, crushed extremists heads in 2007, jumped over gates when the COAS was threatened in 1999 and then provided QRF to the same gates a decade later in 2010, while winning sports and training competitions in between years.
Consisting of 4+ infantry battalions, an armored regiment, artillery and AD regiment, the Brigade's versatility is unmatchable. Hight time to kick Indian Army's behind again ? Absolutely, since that is how the 111 Brigade proved its mettle for the first time and earned its fame. Go ask the Indian Brigade commander how did that feel.
Try not to come across an officer or troops of 111 Brigade, he will throw you across Ganga river.
