Bangladesh Infantry Regiment
The Bangladesh Infantry Regiment (BIR) is an infantry regiment of the Bangladesh Army. It was raised in 2001 as the second infantry regiment after the East Bengal Regiment. The regiment was raised initially by renaming some battalions of the East Bengal Regiment, before its own recruits were trained. This regiment was the first new regiment raised by the Bangladesh Army in the 21st Century, and consequently is also known as the Regiment of the Millennium.
