In 1947 Pakistan sent tribal irregulars into the princely state of Jammu & Kashmir in an attempt to capture it and accede it to Pakistan. Brig Usman, then commanding the 77th Parachute Brigade, was sent to command the 50th Parachute Brigade, deployed at Jhangar in December 1947.
On 25 December 1947, with the odds stacked heavily against the brigade, Pakistani forces captured Jhangar. . On that day Brig Usman took a vow to recapture Jhangar a feat he accomplished three months later, but at the cost of his own life.
