<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The &#039;&#039;&#039;Hindustan Field Force&#039;&#039;&#039; was the first operational regiment of the [[Indian National Army]] that was formed in September 1942 under the first INA. Under the command of [[J.K. Bhonsle]], the unit was formed at [[Singapore]] and comprised three battalions derived from troops of the [[17th Dogra Regiment]], [[Garhwal Rifles]] and the [[14th Punjab Regiment]] (now part of the [[Pakistan Army]]) and had a strength of nearly 2000 troops.<br /> <br /> The unit was dissolved after the collapse of the first INA. After the revival under [[Subhas Chandra Bose]], the troops of the Hindustan Field Force formed the nucleus of the INA&#039;s 2nd division as the 1st Infantry regiment and ceded men to the [[5th Guerilla regiment]] to form the 2nd Infantry regiment which later fought in the [[Battle of Irrawaddy]] and [[Battle of Meiktila]] under [[Prem Kumar Sahgal]].<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> * Fay, Peter W.
