Sher Muhammad Baloch was a Baloch nationalist tribal chief and militant. He was the first Baloch who gave the Baloch armed struggle a new shape by following the tactics of modern guerrilla warfare against the occupiers of Balochistan.
After the second conflict the Pakistani government sent the Army to build new garrisons in the key trouble areas of Baluchistan. Sher Mohammad Baluch led like-minded militants to start a guerrilla warfare against the establishment of these posts by creating its own posts of insurgency spreading over 45,000 miles (72,000 km) of land from the Mengal tribal area in the south to the Marri and Bugti tribal areas in the north. The insurgents bombed railway tracks and ambushed convoys. The Army retaliated by destroying vast areas of the Marri tribe. This insurgency ended in 1969 when Yahya Khan abolished the "One Unit" policy and the Balochs agreed to a ceasefire. This eventually led to the recognition of Baluchistan as the fourth province of West Pakistan in 1970.
