US to form Quick Reaction Force in Pakistan

[ZYXW]

hmmmmm can this quick response force stage a coup in Islamabad ??????

I highly doubt that's the reasoning for it. This is just increasing security everywhere in response to the Benghazi attack. Plus, there are a lot of US embassy bombing that have taken place in Karachi. I think this is geared more towards addressing stuff like that!

I doubt army will allow it. They cant even keep trainers and still are expecting to keep a commando Battalion. Anyways nawaz shreif is set to come up next so i wouldn't be surprised if it will get authorized by either this or next government.

ISLAMABAD: The US government has decided to establish a Quick Reaction Force for the protection of its diplomatic missions in Pakistan.

The step has been taken in order to meet the increased terrorist threats to US personnel in Pakistan.

DawnNews has learnt that the US Congress has been requested to allocate US$ 22.9 million for the program.

The Quick Reaction Force will be comprised of specially trained Pakistani personnel, who would be deployed at the US Embassy in Islamabad and its Consulate in Karachi

As part of the program, US will deploy 25 additional special protective specialists and 4 diplomatic security agents at its missions in Pakistan.

The proposed force will provide the regional security officer, a special agent in charge of security at a US Embassy, the capability of defending the Embassy and Consulate compounds against attacks from terrorists.

In addition to providing a tactical and medical emergency response capability at the compounds, the force could be called upon to provide support to high level visits or security incidents affecting US personnel outside the compounds.

When contacted, Foreign Office Spokesman Abdul Basit expressed his ignorance about the proposed US plan.—DawnNews.

The command structure must remain Pakistani as well.

i doubt about Pakistani command structure as i suppose they would be controlled by an American officer of some kind....
