Alikadam Cantonment, Military cantonment in Ali Kadam Upazila, Bangladesh
Alikadam Cantonment is a military installation situated in the hills of Chittagong District in southeastern Bangladesh. The facility includes administrative buildings, residential quarters, and educational institutions spread across the hilly terrain.
The cantonment was reorganized in 2015 when it transitioned from the 24th Infantry Division to the newly established 10th Infantry Division based at Ramu. This restructuring reflected changes in the military's regional command structure.
The school and college on the grounds serve both military families and local communities, creating spaces where different groups study and interact together. Education here reflects the region's blend of Bengali and tribal influences.
The cantonment sits in hilly terrain that becomes difficult to access during monsoon season. Keep in mind that this is an active military facility, so entry may be restricted or require authorization from local authorities.
The facility houses the 97th Infantry Brigade, a unit specifically established at this location to strengthen military presence in the hill tracts region. This brigade has been instrumental in regional security operations since its creation.
