PEACE KEEPING

DGMSBD Bangladesh Army Medical Team

The Bangladesh Armed Forces and the Bangladesh Police have been actively involved in a number of United Nations Peace Support Operations (UNPSO) since 1988. Currently Bangladesh is the largest contributor in the UN peacekeeping missions.[1]

Bangladesh has several responsibilities in the UN peacekeeping mission. There are helicopter pilots who serve as peacekeepers for the UN. They are locally trained so they have to face several unknown threats and challenges. They have been trained in a different terrain therefore making their job easier.

Bangladesh has served and sacrificed for the UN for over 3 decades. Bangladesh is currently the largest troop-contributing country to UN peacekeeping. Bangladesh and the United Nations have a strong relationship.
