A fact from Pakistan Armed Forces deployments appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 13 January 2015 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
A bit strange how that term is used in that article. Deployment is normally used to refer to overseas presence, which this article is meant to be about. You can't really be "deployed" inside your own country, it doesn't make sense. At least not from a military perspective to me. Mar4d (

Perhaps :) But I like the idea of keeping this one limited to just overseas military presence. That was the idea behind this article. We got plenty of other articles on Wiki to talk about domestic deployment operations already :) Mar4d (

Alright, so the idea is to focus on deployments of Pakistan military, past and present, that were outside Pakistan. This includes active Pakistani contingents and battalions that were stationed in countries, Pakistani military personnel serving abroad, and peacekeeping troops. Check out the article lead, which defines the scope (you can improve it if it doesn't look clear) and let me know what you think. Mar4d (

As the lead says, Pakistan was at one point the largest military manpower exporter in the world. I've been thinking about making that the DYK hook of this article :p Mar4d (
