In February 1996, President of Bangladesh Abdur Rahman Biswas dismissed the general officer commanding the 11th Infantry Division G.H. Murshed Khan for insubordination and Brigadier General Hameedur Rehman of Bangladesh Rifles.[2] Chief of Staff of Bangladesh Army, Lieutenant General Abu Saleh Mohammed Nasim, revolted against the order leading to the 1996 Bangladeshi coup d'état attempt.[2] Troops from the 11th Infantry Division tried to march to Dhaka but failed due to Savar Cantonment, which remained loyal to the president, blocking the Jamuna River crossing.[3]
The 11 Infantry Division organized a cultural program with ATN Bangla in February 2014.[4]
Major General Md Khaled Al-Mamun was appointed commander of the 11th Infantry Division on 18 August 2022.[5]
