Bangladesh Army

[mil-avia]

Our Coast Guard is almost unheard of among the other security forces. Never was any decision taken to modernize them, no ships, no training, no new weapons...or may be even in terms of salaries and benefits.

Though insignificant, but they are part of our security forces and some immediate steps should be taken to turn CG in to a potent force.


Cheers!!!

Border Guard and Coast Guard of Turkey have as equal status as its Army, Navy and Air Force. BG's (though not CG's) of several European countries have the same. Not sure whether any one side of the forces was truly innocent in Pilkhana BDR and Khilgaon Ansar tragedies. Perhaps we blindly (and callously) follow many things British. Freedom fighters from Police, Ansar, VDP, BNCC, FF's with civilian background, etc. too deserve Bir Sreshtho Padak's for their supreme and brave sacrifices during 1971 IMO.
