Is Bangladesh army really have 732,000 personnel?

[Arthur]

Pakistan has 585000 REGULAR but also have other Irregular Military Units as well and the total Headcount could reach close to Million considering Regular Army units and Irregular Units like Para Military while on the other hand that person was saying Above 700,000 Bangladesh Army Personnel. Bangladesh Economy could be doing good but they are still quite Behind in terms of Economic Indicators like Total GDP, Per capita etc. So its still remain Impossible to maintain such a Huge Military under those conditions anyways.

Looks like you are over thinking it a bit.Not all the reservists are under army,Large portion of them are under MOI,thus gets paid from their budget.Also army reserve contains largely of personnel who choose to retire early(after the mandatory time of service for enlistment) and volunteers from BNCC.Volunteers don't get paid and retired personnel doesn't get paid other than their retirement allowance.So Its not about that big dill.And yes,BD economy surely can afford them.

will they fight with sticks and stones??? lolz

Why ask?Does your CRPF or NCC fights with sticks and stone? No, na?

The number is the total enlisted and trained manpower.They don't serve active duty.They are trained under the force,can be called in the regular battalions when their service is required,other than that they are civil citizens who has a military training.If you weren't so obsessed with joking,you would have read the line where i mentioned the number of active service Battalions.

But our Ansar VDP, Police, BNCC, retired armed forces personnel and other paramilitary will fight a war. This is how it was designed to stop Indian invasion after assassination of Sheikh Mujib.

BNCC and regular cops get training in light and medium guns. From where we can source soldiers also. Ansar carry light guns, but they get training of heavy weapons. Our main strength is Ansar apart from regular Armed forces and their retired people. Many of the Ansar forces were member of BD naxal or extreme left.

Maybe the situation was different in the past. This is how the military people thought about India and raised extra battle ready people. This is how they felt, no comments.

well we don't need those private soldiers... we have arsenal to wipe out any threat perception...

 

[asad71]

We have 11 x Divs plus. Then we have the border troops, BGB, Armed Police, RAB ans an one million Ansar-VDP force. NCC cadets are trained to be junior leaders. Being an overwhelming Muslim nation of over 160 mlln, mustering a rifle strength of 10 million partisans will be no problem.

Regrettably the motivation of our armed and paramilitary forces have changed and are now all subservient to India ... The rot set in with the Pilkhana massacre.

and Look at the USA ....

US of A is a different story.they were designed to be an offensive force.Thanks to their very superior technology.

I was just indicating how Moral and dedication is as important as good training.

According to wikipedia page of Bangladesh army,BD army currently have 260,000 active personnel and 472,000 reserve personnel totaling 732,000.

We know that at present BD army has 9 division troops with various other independent formations, while another division is being raised in Barishal which will be inaugurated in near future.So 260,000 active troops seems correct.But what about the figure of reserve troops? 472,000 seems exaggeration.What do you think?

what is the rank of BD army chief?

 

[Homo Sapiens]

what is the rank of BD army chief?

The definition of reserve is the key here. As far as I know, only the recruits of BNCC are officially considered as reserve personnel but that shouldn't be bigger than 100,000 I guess.
