The military history of Bengal extends to the time of the original kings and emperors. At that time the chief of the army was called Senapati or Mahasenapati. Those armies were made up of infantry, cavalry, war elephants and warships. The arrival of Muslims in Bengal and the establishment of the Bengal Sultanate further strengthened the military. The Sultanate had a well-organized and well-organized army. Cannons and artillery were introduced in Bengal during the Mughal rule. During the British colonial rule, Bengal was a symbol of British power in the South Asian region. In 1757, the British forces led by Lord Clive defeated the Bengal army of 50,000 troops led by Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah in the desert of Palashi. The British established the Army of Bengal in Bengal which later became part of the British Indian Army in 1895. The western part of British India was a priority for police and army recruitment. Prior to the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857, cavalry and spearmen were all in the area. After the revolt, recruits were recruited from non-Bengali areas like Bihar Sappers and Bengal Cavalry etc., Bihar, Banarasi, Uttar Pradesh etc. as these areas were then under the Bengal Presidency. During the First World War, a Bengali platoon was formed to recruit troops from Bengal. In 1918, the British government established the Bengali Double Company. These soldiers were trained in Karachi and later deployed in Baghdad. After the war, these troops helped suppress the Kurdish uprising in Baghdad in 1919. Also, after the creation of Bangladesh, the official march of the Bangladesh Army began on the initiative of the then President of Bangladesh Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. During World War II, the Eastern Command of the British Army established an auxiliary force called the Pioneer Corps, which had some engineers and some infantry. Most of the troops of this force were recruited from East and West Bengal. These forces mainly helped the main forces by building roads and air defenses. But if necessary, they also fought with Japan as an infantry force. These forces were organized into different companies and attached to different regiments of the Indian Army. Captain Gani was a company commander and he led his forces on the Burma Front. At the end of the war, Pioneer Corps troops gathered at various locations in India and Japan, waiting to return home. In 1948, Captain Gani, the then Adjutant and Quartermaster of the Pioneer Corps Center in Jalna, came up with the idea of ​​forming an infantry regiment with the returning Pioneer Corps soldiers in East Bengal and sought permission from the Central Command. Later, British rule in India came to an end and two new states, India and Pakistan, were born. With the permission of Sir Frank Mezarvi, the Chief of Army Staff of the Pakistan Army, Captain Gani formed a Bengali platoon with East Bengal troops which was the main base of the later infantry regiment.
