- The Punjab Regiment is an infantry regiment of the Pakistan Army. The regiment takes its name from the historic Punjab region, which is now divided into the Punjab province of Pakistan and the Indian states of Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. It was raised in its current form in 1956, following the amalgamation of the 1st, 14th, 15th and 16th Punjab regiments that were inherited by the Dominion of Pakistan from the British Indian Army upon the Partition of India. Since then, the regiment has expanded in size to 74 battalions. It is the oldest regiment in the Pakistan Army, tracing its lineage to as far back as 1751, during the reign of the Mughal Empire. The regiment's battalions have a distinguished record of military service, spanning the rise and decline of British colonial rule in South Asia, both World War I and World War II, as well as post-independence Pakistan.

- Le régiment Punjab est un régiment d'infanterie de l'armée pakistanaise. Le régiment moderne fut formé en 1956 à partir de la fusion du 1er régiment Punjab, du 14e régiment Punjab, du 15e régiment Punjab et du 16e régiment Punjab. Depuis lors, le régiment s'est agrandi pour inclure désormais 74 bataillons. C'est le régiment le plus ancien de l'armée, dont la lignée remonte à plus de deux cent cinquante ans, dans les années 1750. Les bataillons du régiment ont un dossier distingué de service militaire couvrant la montée et le déclin de la puissance britannique en Asie du Sud, à la fois dans les guerres mondiales et au Pakistan après l'indépendance.
