Leadership box

I am of the view that it would be appropriate to replace the column entitled Principal Staff Officer with a column entitled Chief of Army Staff. This is because the current Chief of Army Staff, General Aziz Ahmed is a four-star General who outranks Lietenant General Waker-uz-Zaman who is a three-star lieutenant general. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AMomen88 (talk • contribs) 16:02, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Move

I absolutely believe it is appropriate to redirect or rename this category and relating pages named Military of Bangladesh to Bangladesh Armed Forces. First of all linguistically Military of Bangladesh is incorrect. Historically Bangladesh Forces (BDF) is the title that was assigned to combined military branches as one by the Bangladesh Government in Exile during its inception at the start of of Bangladesh's independence struggle. Military of Bangladesh has never been in use or in use by other governments. In official standing it has no place. In articles and essays military branches of Bangladesh can be assumed into militaries of Bangladesh. Bangladesh Armed Forces by official title represents every armed branch for the protection of BD at a national level and so since January 29th 1972. I might add it was nevertheless represented as such even in that infamous war surrender document signed on behalf of Bangladesh on December 16th by subordinate commands of two foreign armies. The principal headquarters of the Bangladesh Military, its attestation, signature and seal including official emblem is titled Bangladesh Armed Forces. During the late seventies an Armed Forces Division officially established. Due to lack funds and logistics it was not until the early eighties that it started executing policy and decision making. Original conferences and meetings were chaired at Bangabhaban by President Ziaur Rahman. Later they were held in a small building next to Army HQ and then moved to Ministry of Defense. With time a more modern building was constructed in a separate zone inside Dhaka Cantonment. Today they are chaired by the Primr Minister of Bangladesh with all military secretaries and chiefs including ministry of defense principle officials. Official Armed Forces day is held on November 21st of every year commemorating its full documented establishment in the second Sector Commanders Conference, chaired by General M.A.G. Osmani in 1971. It is the title used for in its entirety by all media and television in BD.

Orphaned references in Bangladesh Armed Forces

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Bangladesh Armed Forces's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
