Mahsud Scouts

The Mahsud Scouts is a paramilitary regiment forming part of the Frontier Corps Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (North) in Pakistan. The name alludes to the Mahsud tribe of South Waziristan. The regiment had a 2020/21 budget of Rs. 1.89 billion and is composed of a headquarters wing with four battalion-sized manoeuvre wings.

History
The regiment was raised in 1937 and were then split into two units: 1st and 2nd Mahsud Scouts. The 1st Scouts became the Maiwand Rifles and the 2nd Scouts dropped the number from their name. The Scouts have also been involved in anti-drugs operations. In 2011-2012, the unit received a number of drug testing kits, through a United Nations programme, to assist in their work against drug smuggling. ==Units==
