Mardan Cantonment is located in Mardan, the second largest city of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and is the only cantonment in Mardan District and Mardan Division.[2][3][4][5] It is the centre of one of the most renowned regiment of Pakistan Army - The Punjab Regiment.[6] The cantonment has a large area for training and offices. Mardan once served as a base for British troops, who never managed to fully control the region's Pashtun tribes. Now[when?] it is home to the Pakistan Air Force Academy, at the Risalpur air base; and the Pakistan Army's School of Artillery and School of Armor and Mechanized Warfare.
