This pic is a couple of years old. Reminds of 80s British Paras

But what is a CT/HRT unit going to do with a 762/51 battle rifle?

Chaos :tongue:

He was (maybe the only) Soldier commisioned in the Medical Corp who then transitioned to Infantry. He served in the Paras as an officer not a medic.

Didnt understand your question. She is a Unit Doc. She doesnt do probation or even ahve to do selection. She is not a combat member of the Regt - Like Cooks/Armourers/SIGINT/ELINT/ etc etc. Support function. Back in the day it was just simple tradition that even the non combat members ran...

She is a non combat personel. She doesnt have term limits to how many times she can try out. BTW neither for Combat personel- They can always apply/Volunteer again. Its for the board to accept or reject the application. Doubt there was any watering down. She is running selection for ceremonial...

Because the problem with the Stack is there with long guns as well

That's a lesser issue. The sticking to each other stack and leaning on each other IMO is a bigger issue.

You made a comment how the defense of the high ground was your favourite battle. I was confused so asking a question for clarification. There are numerous battles that SOF and Indian Infantry have been involved in that are technically harder than what you are talking about. Infact the TAKING...

Siachen? Well we hold the higher ground with our own country to our backs. Unless someone comes with Airpower no SOF / Mil Unit is going to dislodge you at that height without CAS. Hardly deserves a pat on the back no? the story of how those heights were occupied are a differet story. Or...

Just as an FYI. Anywhere - SOF rarely go up against peer forces and get killed by Conventional Opfor only.

That is correct. PMC do not get carry permits for such firepower. The Israeli team of the Ambani's do carry concealed side arms through. Heavy stuff is provided by CRPF and Mumbai Police.

We saw it in the Ambani Security team video recently.

That is correct - no front line combat for her. Hopefully as the Regt Medical Officer she can help divise better psychological and physiological care of our airborne soldiers. That being said. Till the 90s and early 2000s the SF battalions had a glorious tradition where EVERYONE in the unit...

Thats a Mutiny. Punishable by Hanging.

Boss - not a single piece of Kit is ever bought via input of the actual shooters on the line.

Sorry - you have been around long enough to know that something displayed in a Dog and Pony show for Brass and for Media consumption doesnt mean squat.

1) advanced breaching? All we do is stick explosives on the door. Even the breaching kit and explosives we use have not kept up with the times. The world Today has everything from bolt cutters to laser cutters to thermal saws. Lastly Breaching is not about going boom. 2) target designation is...

Was not talking about the picture. I was replying to the comment. Speaking of training we need to upgrade everything from basic shooting of fire arms. We don't even have a proper sniper school in the country. Let alone advanced breaching / combat medic / JTAC etc etc etc. The list is very...

Comms and Optics are the singularly most important kit of a SOF soldier. Not just window dressing. The list of equipment defficiency however is way longer and its not just about kit - its also about training infrastructure.
