About School of Infantry and Tactics (SI&T)
School of Infantry and Tactics (SI&T) is known as the ‘Home of Infantry’. It was raised on 19 March 1973 with Weapon Wing only in the name of ‘School of Infantry’ at Cumilla Cantonment. Later, in 1974 the school was relocated at Jalalabad Cantonment, Sylhet. On 21 January 1974, Tactics Wing was raised and the school was renamed as ‘School of Infantry and Tactics’. In 1982, Special Warfare School was merged as one of the wings named Special Warfare Wing to its organogram. The ‘Bayonet’ mural placed at the main gate resembles the excellence and dignity of Infantry.
