SF battalion, like any other battalion would comprise of companies. The SF refers to a company as 'team'. So each team- Alpha, Bravo, Charlie etc. is basically a company led by a Major/Captain. The company commander would be referred to as team commander or troop commander in SF. Due their...

Probation standards are all same. Older units are much more experienced, hence are on the limelight more often. Also having permanent unit HQ in insurgent hit areas is a plus point for these units. For NE it was 21 Para SF which looked after it. Now 11 & 12 Para SF has reduced the burden on 21...

21 doesn't operate there. Different unit.

US Marine Corps, special forces to participate in first Indo-US ‘Tiger Triumph’ exercise NEW DELHI: From US’s Marine Corps and armoured vehicles to components from India’s three defence forces including helicopters, an infantry unit and ships to transport men and supplies to shores will be...

You seem to appear like a "Who are we to question Army and its internal matters ?" guy. Let me remind you this is a defence forum were things pertaining to defence are discussed. Come out of your condescension.

Good job on Google search. Now try visiting Bhutan to ascertain the facts.

Phuentsholing/Jaigaon imports all its meat from India. Go figure. It's not quality of meat that he was complaining but the facts. Who are you to rant about things when you don't even live anywhere near this area. I speak because I live in this area. It's not advertisement. These are anecdotes...

None of this is sensitive information. Presence of IMTRAT and its locations are well known to those who are aware about it. Many things I purposefully omit before posting.

Talked to the same SF guy. I asked him about his stint in Bhutan. He was posted there along with GR and Assam regt. They were posted in Western Bhutan (beyond Haa valley, close to Doklam and almost upto Northern Bhutan). What SF guy was doing in border outposts of Bhutan with China is anybody's...

Last year. It was broadcasted in a local Assamese channel. They were looking for a senior NDFB-S commander inside Manas National Park. Manas was a safe haven (still is) for militants, due to its porous border with Bhutan, which has Royal Manas National Park on its side.

News channels were broadcasting helicopter insertion of 21 Para SF inside Manas National Park. General populace in insurgency-hit areas know which unit is operating. It is part of survival :biggrin2:. Here young people of my age can get picked up by Army for questioning based on mere suspicion...

Military and police cannot touch NSCN (IM) because of ceasefire and NSCN (IM) take this ceasefire for granted for creating nuisance to civilians and forces. This is why such posturing happens. None of the parties want escalation yet none of the parties want to look weak in front of the other.

People have keen interest on SF now thanks to media.

NSG has a bomb data center. Probably they are seeking their expertise in this field.
