Bangladesh special operations forces are military units trained to conduct special operations.[1][2][3] They are "specially designated, organized, trained, and equipped forces, manned with selected personnel, using unconventional tactics, techniques, and modes of employment".[2]
During the Bangladesh Liberation War, a naval commando unit was placed under Commander-in-chief Colonel M. A. G. Osmani. They conducted major special operations in the seaport of Chittagong and at river ports Mongla, Narayanganj, and Chandpur.[4] The Crack Platoon was another specially trained unit of the Bangladesh Forces.[5]
