The Bangladesh Infantry Regiment (BIR) is an infantry regiment of the Bangladesh Army. It was raised in 2001 as the second infantry regiment after the East Bengal Regiment.[1] The regiment was raised initially by renaming some battalions of the East Bengal Regiment, before its own recruits were trained.[2] This regiment was the first new regiment raised by the Bangladesh Army in the 21st Century, and consequently is also known as the Regiment of the Millennium.
