    Could be but I am not sure what part of IAF these are from. All I can see is that their badges look very similar to the IAF badge. I cannot be more specific.

    If this two guys are same !! the First photo is actually of Garud SF during passing out parade and the 6th one is of Para Comm

    Are Garud commandos recruited from Paras ? Wiki says No.
    But Para Comm can be recruited from other Units like Garud SF although i am not sure

    May be this guy was recruited in Garud SF and then under Para Regiment

    Yes, it is possible on deputation or cross attachment. It is done sometimes to spread knowledge and experience in new units. the deputation would last for an average of 2 - 3 years.

    The Garud Commando Badge, which resembles the NSG badge, is no longer in use.

    I would be surprised if they were.

    Paratroopers of Para Regt are from the Army!

    Para Cdos or Para Regt (SF) chaps are not recruited from other units.

    Other units personnel have to volunteer to join Para on a permanent basis and get selected and only after probation are they taken in!

    Many fall by the wayside in the process.

    And even after joining, if they don't meet the standards, they return to the Parent Unit as Non Para Volunteers!

    Where do you see a chick?

    Fatale? With that rifle, yes!
    Femme? Nope.

    I can bet on this one. They are Garud without any doubt. Look at the IAF crest hanging from below chest on the rightmost personnel. In others it is hidden due to their Insas.

    Then become sure because its correct. Para commandos can be selected from Garud. Para commandos can also apply for other high rank special forces.
    And the given pic is of Garud only. Due to their IAF crest which no other land unit bears.
