Especially because the lithium
deposits are concentrated in Logar province, which other Pakhtuns stereotype as hicks (which is saying something). It's also adjacent to ISKP's and Pakistani Taliban's heartland - Waziristan and Kohat.

There are a lot of Pak Army facilities in Kohat and a major road tunnel important for Belt and Road stuff, it’s hardly BFE.
Makes sense!
Ik there was always a military presence in Kohat Agency since the British era (Battle of Saranghai for example) but was there a significant increase in presence in the leadup to Zarb-e-Azb, or were levels maintained?
Saragarhi?
I misspelled Saragarhi.
It was a garrison slightly north of Thal. I think it was renamed Fort Gulistan after the 3rd Anglo-Afghan War.
