There, in black and white, right in front of you.
Do me a favour and read it for yourself; I stopped reading to my child some thirty-five years ago, and am not sufficiently in my grandchild's company to do that for him. All others have to do their own, sadly, although in your case, I might have made an exception for a lovable little fellow.

An excellent demonstration of how to 'quote'. Thank you; it will be instructive for younger members.
Sorry I'm focussed on another thread...I have to say that the General's comment on withdrawal of heavy artillery was an excellent one, and I sincerely hope that the IA agrees, even though it will come out behind, in some remorseless eyes; the civilians are closer to the LOC (in broad terms; there are exceptions) on the Pakistan-administered side. He is right in saying 50 kms, because the Bofors reaches 40 to 45 kms (depending on weather conditions, elevation and so on; gunners will be better at explaining this).
He comes out very well from the interview (that is in no way intended to be condescending).

Excerpt from new book by Hapymon Jacob who vsited pak army hq and loc formations few months back as well as indian formations on loc and northern command hq
Who coined the term Border Action Team(BAT)?Your general mentions BAT, nobody else. What exposure and humiliation are you talking about? Other than your (valued) personal opinion?
Who coined the term Border Action Team(BAT)?
There is no deployment of civilians along with Army on LOC for any purpose let along carrying out cross border raids.PS: Let me explain a little more in detail.
I understand that this is a term for a combined detachment of regular soldiers and what some are pleased to term 'mujahids'. Such civilians bearing arms and attacking another country do not exist in India; certainly, they are not to be found in the vicinity of the Army. So as far as functionality goes, it is a Pakistani phrase.
@hellfire
Term is solely brain child of Indian Media.As for the phrase itself, it might be argued that while the concept is wholly Pakistani, the phrase might have been coined by Indians. That is certainly possible, except that I have no information of it having happened so.
Mukti Bahni's won't agree.Such civilians bearing arms and attacking another country do not exist in India; certainly, they are not to be found in the vicinity of the Army. So as far as functionality goes, it is a Pakistani phrase.

Crica 1950's there was deployment of irregulars along with PA known as "Mujahids" later they were regularized and are known as Mujahid Battalions only their difference with other units is that,bulk of their manpower is drawn from border districts and they are not rotated into all over Pakistan.

@Joe Shearer Pakistan Army has no shoratge of young men ready to carry out very risky jobs without hesitation.With almost 60% of population composition of young blood PA is no short of man power.Inviting and training civilians for that purpose is very risky.
