Comments on the post Reforms in Pakistan Army in SPN Group




A most central point has been missed in these proposals. A point without which all is synthetic,

1-In Pakistan the army personnel are less secure than the most menial slave because they dont have the right to go to a civil court and have no job security.Whereas in India army personnel have complete basic rights and can go to any civil court against the army while still in service.

2-The army officers commissions security against arbitrary dismissal was abolished by Liaquat Ali Khan in 1951 .This needs to be restored so that officers can regain intellectual honesty of defying illegitimate commands without fear of forfeiture of office.

3-All army personnel should have right to go to any civil court against any decision of the army while in service , as held in India.This right was granted by Z.A Bhutto in 1973 constitution but later mistakenly withdrawn under advise by myopic generals like Tikka Khan.Had the army persons continued with this right no martial law may have been imposed.

Flogging is literally non existent in the army.

The recommendations about regiments restructuring is complicated and needs more discussion.

kind regards

Dear All,
 
Pakistan Army inherits its organization, structure and policies from British Colonial rule. British Army has undergone many reforms since colonial time but I am not sure if there had been any corresponding reforms in Pakistan Army.
 
Given bellow is the description of some reforms which could be worth implementing in Pakistan.

Cardwell Reforms
 
The Cardwell Reforms refer to a series of reforms of the British Army undertaken by Secretary of State for War (and former soldier) Edward Cardwell between 1868 and 1874.
 
Cardwell set about with three initial reforms:
 
  1. Abolished flogging and other harsh disciplinary measures: In 1868, he abolished flogging and other harsh disciplinary measures in the Army during peace time. This action was opposed by nearly every senior officer, who used the opinions of the Duke of Wellington to validate their objections. Yet it was imperative to attract good quality recruits by ensuring the private soldier's life was better than a kind of penal servitude. Flogging was retained as a punishment on active service, on the pretext that extraordinary powers of punishment might be required in the field, until finally abolished in 1880.
  2. Localisation scheme: Cardwell then passed the comprehensive Regulation of the Forces Act 1871. Previously, soldiers had enlisted for General Service, and were liable to be drafted into any regiment regardless of their own preferences, another factor which had made service harsh and unpopular. It had been recognised as early as 1829 by Lord Palmerston that: "...there is a great disinclination on the part of the lower orders to enlist for general service; they like to know that they are to be in a certain regiment, connected, perhaps, with their own county, and their own friends, and with officers who have established a connection with that district. There is a preference frequently on the part of the people for one regiment as opposed to another, and I should think there would be found a great disinclination in men to enlist for general service, and to be liable to be drafted and sent to any corps or station." Nevertheless, the Army had insisted for years that it could be administered only on the basis of General Service. Under Cardwell's localisation scheme, the country was divided into 66 Brigade Districts (later renamed Regimental Districts), based on county boundaries and population density. All line infantry regiments would now consist of two battalions, sharing a depot and associated recruiting area. One battalion would serve overseas, while the other was stationed at home for training. The militia of that area then (usually) became the third battalion. The senior twenty-five regiments of the line already consisted of two battalions, but almost all the higher-numbered regiments had only one battalion. Many regiments were amalgamated to produce two-battalion regiments, a complicated internal process involving much debate over regimental traditions and seniority which was not finally completed until the ensuing Childers Reforms. Nevertheless, Cardwell's measures quickly produced far more cohesive and homogenous units. 
 
 
The Childers Reforms restructured the infantry regiments of the British army. The reforms were undertaken by Secretary of State for War Hugh Childers in 1881, and were a continuation of the earlier Cardwell reforms.
 
From 1881 regimental seniority numbers were officially abolished and battalions came to be known by their number within the regiment and the regimental district name. Unofficially, the regiments were still referred to by their numbers by their officers and men, as tradition and a point of pride, and several regiments such as "The Buffs", The Cameron Highlanders, and "The Black Watch", lobbied to keep their distinct names as part of their battalion titles.
 
NOTE: THE REGIMENTAL NAMES OF PAKISTAN ARMY ARE STILL BASED ON BRITISH NOMENCLATURE AND NEED IMMEDIATE CHANGE WITH NAMES OF OUR DISTRICT
