Commander-in-chief - Bangladesh

Bangladesh

The Commander-in-Chief is the President, although executive power and responsibility for national defense resides with the Prime Minister. The only exception was the first C-in-C, General M. A. G. Osmany, during Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, who was commander of all Bangladesh Forces, reinstated to active duty by official BD government order, which after independence was gazetted in 1972. He retired in April 7 of 1972 and relinquished all authority and duties to the President of Bangladesh.
