Missing Sir Asif Ghafoor. He is such a charismatic person. This new DG is not on par with Sir Asif.

The new DG is from the scholarly side of the army. His stints in the faculty of the PMA and NDU have shaped him differently from Gen. Ghafoor. Good to have both thinking and fighting soldiers. He certainly speaks more eloquently than Gen. Ghafoor who was more direct.

Like Ghafoor Asim Bajwa and Roaring Raheel better than these tin pot general and the new DGISPR. Not a fan of COAS Bajwa

Anywho.

How does PA organize or split it's platoons into squads and do they further split them into fireteams?(or are they called sections in PA??).

Should they have corpman/medic in a squad instead of just doing a medevac instantly when someone gets hit?
I saw 2008-9 video Lt.Col Asif Ghafoor giving very rudimentary first aid to a soldier and some soda/water. And then just sending him back to field hospital.

Could corpmen help the soldier stay longer in fight?

Is PA also incorporating more MGunners? And Marksmen(not snipers) with DMRs in a squad?

It is quite surprising PA has not invested meaningfully into NVGs and in prism scopes. Nor in holographic reflex sights. Just shows how outdated the mindset is.

Yes yes, I understand soldiers here and there have a few gadgets. But that doesn't solve the problem.

I suggest NVGs with head mounts, laser IR pointers, prism optics 4x32, thermal riflescope add ons, holographic reflex sights. These are a must in the battlefield and would easily topple the balance of forces in the region.

Given the quality and competence of chinese commercial companies in supplying these at unbelievable prices, it is a shame that this is being ignored. At a cost of 10 million USd only, one can completely change the dynamics of war... and yet PA is missing out... unbelievable... what a shame.

Given the major economic downturn in China, now is the time to make a deal with a private Chinese company (please not Norinco), to actually buy the equipment and training to build these devices in Pakistan.

These are light industries that can not only serve PA but also provide a healthy export earnings source for Pakistan.
