History

Chittagong division has a history of ethnic and religious strife. With a purpose of tackling the corresponding problem and protecting the new maritime boundary, it was necessary to increase army's capability in the area. Considering this, initiative and corresponding measures were taken to form an infantry division as it was also part of the development vision of Bangladesh Armed Forces Forces Goal 2030.

On 19 April 2014, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina confirmed the approval for a new cantonment in Ramu.

Sheikh Hasina formally announced formation of the 10th Infantry Division, as well the brigade and regiments under its command by raising the flag on 1 March 2015.

Flag of seven units including that of the 2nd Infantry Brigade was hoisted on 10 March 2016. Flag hoisting ceremony of the seven newly formed units was held on 9 February 2017. Flag hoisting program of 4 new units was held on 20 February 2018.

Formation

There are two infantry brigades and an artillery brigade, comprising nine infantry regiments and four artillery regiments respectively. Two engineering battalions and other various units including SSD Ramu and two field workshop units are under the supervision of the 10th Infantry Division.[failed verification] Major General Md Masudur Rahman is the current General Officer Commanding of the division.
