Hi, I have been reading about the various infantry schools of the Indian Army like HAWS, CIJWS and the Corps Battle School. I have also seen a video of the Commando course at Belgaum. From what I understand, all infantry officers have to go the Commando school...am I right? Then after that, do they get to pick the other schools through their careers (or of course does the Army send them if it wants to)? Or do the other schools depend on their particular battalion/division they belong to? In other words, some batts/divs go the CIJWS and others go to HAWS, etc... depending on what kind of batt/div they are. Like I can understand a Mountain Infantry unit sending its people to HAWS.
Along those lines, can an officer (or enlisted) go to the other schools as well? Or do they have to transfer units?
And at what point does a soldier get the "Special Forces" tab? Or is there another school for that?
Please forgive me if I am asking obvious questions but while I have had an interest in the Indian Military for some time, I have only recently tried to dig in and learn more detail.
