Came across this image (Bottom right corner). According to this photo 16th and 18th Divisions are under X Corps in Southern Command, but according to all most online resources and books, X Corps comes under South Western Command.

Reviving this thread...


Brahmastra corps vehicles deployed for tacking cyclone Yaas.

But what is this insignia ?


Seems like a Leopard/Tiger face ? Seems like insignia of 15th Infantry division (Panther)

But the 15th division is under 11 Corps.

Another same insignia, the left Gorkha soldier's arm patch in the first picture.

Another interesting patch under Brahmastra Corps -


Looks like an eye with two thunders.



More clearer picture -

Left headlight of the front car

@Tanmay @Saumyasupraik Incase anyone interested
Thats the 59th Infantry Division or Trinetra Division based in Panagarh.

An illustration I had made some time back (not 100% accurate)

Any idea on the flags on the banner. I see Central Command, 3rd Inf. Div. (Trishul Division) which doesn't come under Central Command and then what is the Yellow/Red flag, 3rd from the top

Maybe it is the 136th Independent Infantry Brigade Group.
They were there as per this:-
And Central Command is known to be in control of just two formations:
14 Inf Div
A separate Independent Inf Bde

This is likely the latter.

Tripeak brigade is 136th Independent Infantry Brigade based at Sumdo, H.P.

And 14th Mtn Division is Golden Key Division.



If you look at this picture, from left, first flag (? Seems like Panchshul Brigade? Brigade number not known), 2nd flag also unknown, 3rd flag (Cobra), 7th flag (two yellow fishes?)

Lot of unknowns.

Awesome! Did not know general area had insignias ? I thought areas are denoted by the command, this is a new to me.

Also, 119 Mtn Bde and 9 Mtn Bde are both directly under Central Command ?

Yes. It would seem even Tripeak has come under Central Command. At least that's what can be concluded from the Yudh Abhyas 21 banner.

So currently, these are under central command?
  • 119 (I) Mtn Bde Panchsul
  • 9 (I) Mtn Bde Ibex
  • 136 (I) Mtn Bde Tripeak
  • 6 Mtn Div Garuds
  • 14th Mtn Div Golden Key
  • Uttar Bharat Area headquartered at Bareilly
  • Madhya Bharat Area headquartered at Jabalpur
Surprising is 6 Mtn Div comes under 1 Corps which itself is under South Western Command (unless it has been plucked from 1 Corps).
Also which Corps is 14 Mtn Div Golden Key ?

Red flag with a Cobra (2nd picture bottom left), since this is at DRDO facility in Chandipur Base, I am assuming this is an air defence brigade insignia
