abstract
  • The 11th Infantry Division is an active formation of the Pakistan Army. It is currently deployed in Lahore as part of IV Corps, and is responsible for the defence of that city and the surrounding areas. The division was formed just before the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965. Prior to this, the army chief at the time, General Muhammad Musa, had been calling for raising two new divisions; this was denied by the government citing a benign security environment, the lack of funds and the general reluctance of the US to fund new risings under the foreign military assistance scheme. After the 1962 Sino-Indian War, the Indian army underwent a substantial increase in numbers and capability and the government reversed its position and the division was raised by utilising reserve stocks. Initially called the 20th Infantry Division, the name was changed upon the request of the formation's first GOC, Major General Abdul Hamid Khan. The Division was then assigned to the defence of Lahore. Major General Amer Riaza is the present General Officer Commanding 11th Infantry Division.
