Forces Goal 2030

Forces Goal 2030 is a military modernization program in Bangladesh that commenced in 2009 and was updated in 2017. It is designed to enhance the capabilities of the Bangladesh Armed Forces, including the Army, the Navy and the Air Force, as well as the Coast Guard. The program focuses on restructuring military organizations, expanding the forces, transforming the indigenous defense sector to support research and manufacturing, and acquiring advanced military equipment.

The requirement for modernisation was realised in the aftermath of the 2008 Bangladesh–Myanmar naval standoff later resulting in Bangladesh's favour. The program was revised in 2017, following the Rohingya refugee crisis, which facilitated a larger monetary allocation towards the modernisation program.

One of the primary objectives of the modernisation program is to develop a three-dimensional force (land, air and sea) capable of conducting multi-platform warfare.

After the 2024 Non-Cooperation Movement, which resulted in the ouster of Sheikh Hasina and the Awami League regime, it is likely that the modernization program will be revised. This potential revision could affect the program's objectives, implementation timeline, and overall scope.
