SG has finally got a Wiki page but unfortunately it contains nothing that we already don't know. It even has some errors but anyways check it out.
[The Special Group (
SG) is the
special forces unit of India's
Research and Analysis Wing which is tasked to undertake
covert operations. The unit is considered to be comprised of the most
elite soldiers of India and is responsible for conducting such operations with which the
Government of India may not wish to be overtly associated. Since the unit is confidential in nature, most of the information about its activities is highly
classified.
Origin
The Special Group was created in 1981 as a classified unit of the
Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) tasked for undertaking
covert operations. The Directorate General of Security, which was a confidential organisation created with assistance from the
CIA after the
Sino-Indian War of 1962, went under control of RAW in 1968. In 1982,
Project Sunray was initiated by the Directorate, under which an officer from the
Para SF of the
Indian Army was tasked to raise a unit comprising 250 personnel. In early 1983, a group of six personnel were sent to a confidential military base in
Israel. There they received training from a specialist team of
Mossad for a few weeks. This team, which had earlier
rescued hostages from
Uganda's Entebbe airport with some assistance from RAW, was comprised of commandos from the
Sayeret Matkal.
Organisation
The Special Group functions under the Directorate General of Security (DG Security) of
Research and Analysis Wing, which is India's foreign
intelligence agency. The DG Security also oversees the Office of Special Operations. The unit serves under the command of the
Prime Minister through the
Cabinet Secretariat.
The SG is primarily based at
Chakrata in the state of
Uttarakhand and
Sarsawa in
Uttar Pradesh, where it is headquartered. All of its personnel are from the
Indian Army, mostly from the
Para (Special Forces). SG personnel are distributed in three to four companies. An SG team is kept on high alert for contingencies round the clock. SG
squadrons consist of four soldiers, each of whom has a specialized skill-set. The SG has dedicated branches specialising in intelligence gathering, operational planning, communications and training.
Responsibilities
The responsibilities of the Special Group includes clandestine intelligence operations and
covert operations, with which the
Government of India may not wish to be overtly associated. The SG is also responsible for developing tactics and training procedures for
other special forces of India.
Training and equipment
The Special Group is considered to be the most capably trained
special forces unit of India and is considered to be very well equipped.]
