Ahmed, currently serving as the military's quarter master general, who previously served as director general of paramilitary Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB), would assume his office with an elevated rank and status of a full military general, the defence ministry said.
He would succeed General Abu Belal Mohammad Shafiul Haque, who is set to retire on June 25.
Ahmed served as the Director General of BGB from 2012 to November, 2016.
The new army chief's appointment came a week after Air Marshal Masihuzzaman Serniabat took over as the country's air force chief.Â
