Can you give a quote or cite instances or name SF unit or a place that did such jungle bashing in Sri Lanka?? Name a few places. Insertion and extrication - Yes. But what you are describing may not be.... that was left to PBI. Elite SF can not do that.

Then tell me who is not on the ground? Even the Gods descend down to the ground do their bidding. Aircraft remain on the ground most of the time and the Navy goes hither thither in search of ground.... and here you think "ground" is a pejorative ??

How does it matter if SF is a separate Regiment or part of PARA? Does that in any way effect the organization, functioning, utilization and roles of SF units. One fellow also suggested removing SF from Infantry Chain of Command? I really do not know what that Gawachi Ga meant? the SF cell is...

Not that I raised it but I well understand it is beyond you all.. So leave it... live in your cocoons..

Lack of certification and lack of benchmarking of military skills in equivalence to common civilian qualifications.. Ah You must have heard the familiar noises that PM Modi makes time and again about skill education and skill development.. the new education policy somewhat is beginning in that...

Look at their Chests... they have hardly served anywhere in substantial operational areas,,, None of them have a purple heart.. but that is no disqualification though. The GC seems to be donning an RR badge....

Having interacted with a lot of civilian counterparts in the govt job, my impression is that an average Armywala is quite well educated and updated, Fauj is the only organization where there is no reservation and the only merit is upheld in all respect and in 80 percent of the cases. 20 percent...

You are treading into a very dangerous ground and trying to push SF community officers into sheltered Cocoons. I really do not know if this is the result of some insecurity or incompetency that makes such a strong carving for "reservation. I am sure you are aware of the case of Mechanised...

Well that is absolutely not true. This is an abject prejudicial and flasehood you have stated and reflecetion of a self made image your imaginary idea has made in your mind. It shows either you do not know the facts or your preloaded mind would not allow you to look into facts. The COAS is...

Does imbalance mean an imbalance in troops to the task? That is Infantry battalions are floating around without adequate requirement? The case, in fact, is the other way round. There is a dire scarcity of infantry in the Indian Army which is then fulfilled with alternate but inadequate methods...

All officers of all branches are fully qualified to undertake jobs that they are trained for, work for and are exposed to. Be it Engineers, Signals, artillery or Infantry... every body has a job description and so does an SF officer. Yet all of them do not command units they have been working in...

GOC listen to his Dhobi too and some times his barber too... they do advise him in private... so does a Havildar of I&FS section. You have pitched yourself two steps down... GOC-in_C command listens to a major of SF... and so does he listens to an LMG det Cdr in fields on his LMG fixed-line...

Your reasoning appears to be a justification for College Professors to be appointed as Brigadiers and Generals. This high IQ high exposure logic is bunkum and sounds like that one examination logic of civil Services or higher in merit logic that used to be advanced earlier by mud corps...

Any SF operative or officer whether of a very high standard or average is only an SF Operative and fails to be fitted into other Army slots. That happens with most of them. An SF officer is supposed to have unrealistically high self-esteem and a very high image of himself and that is partly what...

What are those "work of Commandoes" that infantry can not do or is incapable of doing? And what do you imply by normal or abnormal infantry..... While specifying the tasks please remain confined to military tasks only because Infantry units, unlike all other braggers and self worshippers, is a...

Strange you quote OPSEC? all ops are gen known in more or fewer details after those have been executed... Even the brigade plus which occupied Chusul sector had OPSEC... But some vague details are known now... Ask ADGPI as to why..!! I thought you would grant everyone in the forum some basic...

Come down from phantasies to mother earth... Any employment of SF in Eastern Ladakh so far ??? Do not mention SFF...

There was no cliff or rack assault involved in the operations on those comparatively gentle hill and SFF are not the only one trained in cliff assaults. They were rightfully used as they exist. Let that be so, Give me instances where Infantry failed and then Paras were employed due to...

SFF was used purely and purely for psyops purposes and all-day night signing of songs for Tibetan soldiers is targetted at the world audience as a tool of Liberation agenda of Tibet.. This is simply a tool to embarrass China and blacklist the Tibetan occupation of China. This a clear cut...

I have been a part of it has seen them being employed including that SF RR battalion whose CO had almost lost his balance .... Today he is a Forum Speaker... No force of the Indian Army can ever be kept ideal and no one can seek special jobs for one if they are not present... Let it be very...
