Commandos are recruited from all corps of the Bangladesh Military (Infantry, Armored Corps, Artillery, etc.) and are trained in Bangladesh. Like Commandos of Armed Forces of other nations, they are set apart from other Military units by virtue of their rigorous training regimes. They are trained to perform not only in atmospheric conditions natural to Bangladesh, but also in areas such as deserts, jungles, icy fields and the like. However, owing to its primary nature of carrying out covert operations and since it is Special Forces, not much information is known or publicized about the activities of this elite group. Additionally, the training rigors of a Commando has been a closely-guarded secret.Though the Commando Battalion is headquartered in Sylhet, they are under the authority of the Army Headquarters. More specifically, their orders for mobilization is mandated by the Chief of the General Staff of the Bangladesh Army. The Commando Battalion constantly remains on standby so that they can be mobilized expeditiously without delay.
