BDF should bring back Defence Logistics Command

One of the best things that Lt Gen (ret) Fisher did for BDF was the establishment of the Defence Logistics Command (DLC). There was a lot of hype about the formation of commands at BDF because they opened up vacancies for promotion. It is only the commander and his deputy who did not benefit in this transition because they could not be promoted beyond their current stations in their ranks.

BDF has a very interesting history in as far as logistics are concerned. BDF was established because of an existing security situation that had somewhat caught the political leadership unaware.  The priority was given to providing funds for employing men and the procurement of arms and ammunition. That is what everybody thought was the right approach to establishing a rag tag army like BDF was at the time. No one thought logistics was a priority area.
