Light Commando Battalions - LCBs

LCB is More like Special Forces Support Group. 75th Ranger is a whole different level.
Technically LCBs supplement SSG role, like the US Rangers complement the Green Berets — the former works as light airborne infantry, specialist in LRRPs while the latter work in small teams, more lowkey in op-execution.

LCBs have CQB platoons, LRRP experience and airborne capability. Kinda fits in this way with the Rangers.
 
We are in need of better trained/skilled,better equipped and highly mobile forces.
FC KPK and FC Bln have strength equal to half of our Army.

FC is highly mobile already, they even have helicopters plus Tanks and Artillery. Infact their artillery is much better than artillery in use of Levies (25 pounders). FC has been trained and armed to the teeth by Army. Its the levies and khasadar force who need attention.

I beg to differ,they are still not on par with Army when it comes to logistics.Org is still weak.Levis and khasadar are different stories.We should make Police strong.

specifically what term of logistics ?
 
I remember seeing Wajahat S Khans show from way back when WoT started in Pakistan in 2000s. And army was inculcating such tactics as CQB, LRRPs, rappeling and room clearance etc in regular army. I think need for LCBs may have been anticipated back then as well.

SF elements of Regular Infantry Battalion are as follows.

Commando Platoon

Every Infantry Battalion has a "Commando Platoon" of 20-25 troops under the command of a Captain. The commando platoon is tasked to deal with emergency situations and conduct special operations related to that Battalion. They are on call 24/7 and report to Battalion Commanding Officer (CO). Their comm devices are different from other troops. They carry additional ammunition, extra weaponry such as grenades and more protective gear like knee/elbow caps. Type-56 is carried mostly. They are highly trained individuals, more than regular rifle men and can carry out CQB tasks as well. They are analogous to Indian Army "Ghatak Platoon".

Sniper Team

The sniper team is allotted to every company in an Infantry Battalion, 4 x sniper teams in an infantry Battalion. Sniper is the recon element of infantry company. Tasked to report back enemy movement and update change in circumstances, he is also required to take out enemy commanders.
 
Balochistan Levies has a commando wing too :-)

That's nice that para military forces or territory based Militia of Pakistan are being better equipped and trained as in old times at younger age have observed levies persons having old guns with barely could speak few Urdu words, during trip between Quetta and Zhob. The people were so hospitable even with Punjabis. May Allah bless same peace to Baluchistan along with well justified prosperity for people there.
 
Did they equip these guys with the supposed new camo
Only FC Balochistan is still using the old camo.

FC KPK & Panjab Rangers use same camo
