Frontier Corps

The Frontier Corps (FC) is a paramilitary force in Pakistan responsible for maintaining security, law, and order in the country's border regions, particularly in areas like Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It operates under the Ministry of Interior and works alongside the regular police and military. The FC's duties include counter-terrorism operations, border security, and assistance in disaster relief. Established in the 19th century, it primarily recruits personnel from local tribes, thus fostering community relationships while ensuring regional stability. The FC plays a crucial role in safeguarding Pakistan's frontiers and combating insurgency and smuggling activities.
