[The three hill districts of greater Chittagong are an important name in the history of insurgency operations in the country. Basically it is an expression of dissatisfaction of the small population living in Chittagong Hill Tracts. Various operations have been conducted since 1972 with the aim of ousting the Chittagong Hill Tracts insurgents. That is why the army has been deployed in the Chittagong Hill Tracts since then. Prior to Operation Transition, the Army's responsibility was to conduct risky and offensive operations. Many members of the army and security forces had to give their lives for this. One such person is Bir Uttam Lt. Mushfiq. The young officer of Field Regiment Artillery was Lieut. Mushfiq. Year 1989 1, Field Regiment Artillery was then engaged in operations in Chittagong Hill Tracts] - ^ "দ্য আনসাং রেইডার লেফটেন্যান্ট জি এম মুশফিকুর রহমান, বীর উত্তম". roar.media (in Bengali). 5 December 2017.
