When Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her bodyguards, SG was deployed to provide close proximity security to the new Prime Minister and the deceased PM's family. When militancy reared its head in Jammu & Kashmir, SG was deployed to this theatre as well and this is where 22 SF was born.

During this period, Indian Army had just four Para (SF) battalions namely 1, 9, 10 and 21. Now, since obituaries could not be placed under its correct name, the story goes that 22 SF designation in continuity to 21 Para (SF)] was coined. This name stuck and even the formal award list carried the 22 SF/SG designation.

For the sake of obfuscation, it was termed 4 Vikas. Its real name was Special Group.However, it was different from other Vikas battalions in that it comprised 100 per cent Indian soldiers and officers.

The Special Group is different from the Vikas battalions of the Special Frontier Force; the name "4 Vikas" was given to it to create confusion. The designation of "22 SF" was given to the SG when it was deployed in Jammu and Kashmir (for counter-insurgency operations) to conceal the real name of the unit; obituaries for SG personnel who died carried this name. The number 22 in this designation is in succession with the number 21 in Indian Army‘s 21 Para (SF)

Yea not the highest paying jobs ig but very respectable but with all including pays I am sure they all earn quite decent for a middle class family
I mean the entire spec ops community is alike, they dont do this for money.
Ernest Shackleton, who led three British expeditions to the Antarctic in the 1900s, reportedly placed an
ad in a London newspaper looking for this kind of man

"Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold,
long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.
Honor and recognition in event of success"

This is the kind that does it, and Ihave heard, based on my interactions that they dont even do it to proove themselves. They do it because they like it. I'll call them Nietzsche's Ubermensch. What do they get from this? The satisfaction of their job and let's admit it's a cool one that's why we all are so thrilled by reading about it and so forth

They like this stuff but still money is important atleast for family people but I think they have decent pay to take care of family and don't all forces have access to Army canteen? I have had only few interactions with canteens In childhood one of my uncle's was Ex NSG only went their with him stuff was cheap

Let them buy the stuff the stuff they want from their own pockets

It doesnt work that way...more pay will lead to better lifestyle no one will invest in kits and they already believe they are the best and racially superior so that wont be there
