I am not ok with IAF allotting the task of base protection to Garuds.
IAF should raise another specialize force with the following responsibility:
# Guarding IAF Base.
# Guarding major Radar installation.
# Guarding missiles,warhead,other important assets.
# To act as QRT
Basically all the protection jobs of IAF should be transferred to this force.
Now coming to Garud,their main task should be the following:
#rescue of downed pilot,those people who need to be airlifted from behind enemy line or hostile area.
#Conduct recon/intel gathering for IAF behind enemy lines.
#Demolition of assets behind enemy lines or hostile area(radar,SAM etc)
#To call in airstrike and direct them through laser target designator.
#To support others special forces acting as force multiplier.
#Destroying downed aircraft ,drone of IAF ,to prevent sensitive technology from going in the hands of enemy.
You can add more.
In addition to this Garuds need to be involved with the operations in kashmir for a year ,to gain combat experience.
