Specialized High Altitude Warfare Battalions- Pakistan Army

[WarKa DaNG]

The idea is good, PA can form battalions like Edson Raiders, striking the enemy where they expect you the least

 

[AbuzarIlyas]

Pakistan Army is a highly professional force with all the administrative decisions being taken and implemented for any kind of threat faced to the country. Infact, the Kashmir command is the biggest command of Pakistan Army. Only thing we need is the will to fight at govt and army high brass level.

 

[Khan_patriot]

Threads like these remind me of and old moral story elders used to narrate back when I was a kid.
There was once a village that was so isolated that no one used to wear a shalwar, then someone from a city visited the village and convinced the villagers to start wearing shalwars. The villagers reluctantly did but started claiming that the village was the place where the shalwar was invented.
Anyone even somewhat versed with PA its eqpt and training would know that much of this is already in effect given the limitation of finances, resources and manpower.

Another example is that of our tribal lashkars who were able to capture large parts of Kashmir often by using terrain as their weapon.

Atleast two soldiers in a section will have under barrel grenade launchers as hand grenades will role downhill.

Secret weapons! Devilish ingenuity!!
