AB  - In the first half of the 18th century, Afshar Nader Shah had played an essential rolein the history of Iran and the countries around. It was an area extending from thenortheastern boundries of the Ottoman Empire to India and from Oman to Transoxianawherein more than ten independent states exist in the present day. Nader Shah hasbeen renowned most widely for having recovered the usurped Iranian throne fromthe Ghilzai Afghans and for uniting the country. However a considerable amountof literature has touched upon his military career, striking achievements and thearmed forces during his reign. There has been a unanimity among the majority ofthe researchers that he was one of the unusual military leaders of the history whohad grown up facing hardships and precious lessons of the battlegrounds. He had feltcertain admiration for Timur who had once reigned over almost the same area. Thearmy of Nader Shah had borne traces of previous Turkish and Safavid armies. On theother hand he had blended the prominent features, namely, mobility and firepower ofeither armies and developed an idiosyncratic military organization which was suitablefor fighting over a vast area with diverse geographical features.
