Interesting find by DTB from recently concluded "Tiger Shark- 39". (Though i did notice but didn't bother to check properly). Commandos were seen using upgraded Type-56 assault rifle. The upgrade includes picatinny rail, collimator sight, foregrip, new buttstock and possibly laser designator. BOF probably carried out these upgrades.

Close look at the upgraded Type-56 assault rifle.

I was wondering if army has any concept of 'combined arms battalion'
or something like 'armor and mechanized infantry company'
( both us army terms )

Meaning, a combination of armors ( tanks ) and mechanized infantry (BTR80 ) in single fighting group.

Do we have anything like that ?

And also I would be glad if you can send me the structural organization of 10th, 11th and 24th divisions like the one you posted above for9th div.

Actually, why not all of them ?
