- The Bangladesh Army is the land forces branch of the Military of Bangladesh. It was formed on 15 April 1971 following the oath of the Bangladesh Government at Meherpur, Kushtia during Bangladesh Liberation War under which the Bangladesh Forces originally consisting of Bengali soldiers and officers who defected from the Pakistan Army pledged their alliegence to Bangladesh. Its current strength is estimated to be over 150,000 personnel with 75,000 retired reserve personnel. There are also a large number of civilian workers. Currently the Bangladesh army is trying to improve its weapons, armour, equipment and manpower by expanding its organisation through the creation of new units, by upgrading and procuring new weapons systems. The primary mission of the Bangladesh Army is the classic one of defending the nation's territorial integrity against external attack. During wartime, the Bangladesh Army (and its sister services) are responsible for mobilising the nation's resources by assuming direct control over paramilitary and police forces, civilian transportation, and defense industries. In addition to its primary mission the Bangladesh Army is also constitutionally obligated to assist the civilian government during times of crisis. This role is commonly referred to as “aid to civilian administration”. The Bangladesh Army structure is similar to many armies of the Commonwealth Nations. However, major changes have taken place following the adoption of U.S. Army tactical planning procedures, training management techniques and noncommissioned officer educational systems. It is supported by artillery, medical, engineers, nurses, armored and combat corps. In times of war and crisis, the Bangladesh Army can also be reinforced by the Bangladesh Rifles, Ansar, Village Defense Parties (VDP), and other paramilitary land forces numbering about one million trained personnel. It has specialized its peacekeeping operations capabilities around the world through participation in peacekeeping and nation building. It has created BIPSOT (Bangladesh Institute of Peace Support Operation Training) which is dedicated to training of peacekeepers for employment in all types of UNPSO (UN Peace Support Operations). This institute fulfills the requirement of UNDPKO as per General Assembly resolution which outlines ‘the necessity and responsibility of every nation to train their armed forces before any deployment’. The U.S. Military has taken keen interest and participating in this area.
