The Bangladesh Army has a history of special forces operations, dating to the guerrilla warfare practices of the Mukti Bahini, during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War. In 1976, a unique warfare school was established at Chittagong Cantonment and relocated to Sylhet Cantonment in 1979. An army commando course and counter-insurgency course began in 1980, and in 1982 the school was reorganized as the Special Warfare Wing of the Bangladesh Army School of Infantry and Tactics (SI&amp;T).
