Force one will arrive first, then the NSG hub’s team then the CTTF from Delhi if required. For a complex operation like Taj no one outside of CTTF comes even close to their capabilities and organisation, let’s not delude ourselves.
NSG has helped raise all these state units to
Be the first responders as they know it’s not possible for NSG to do that role.
A national intervention force is absolutely needed for a nation like India but as other units expand they should contract in size and become even more specialised. As I said above there shouldn’t be a need for SRG to exist after a certain point and SAG should only remain to focus on CT/HR/anti-hijacking.
in this instance SRG are there to act as a CAT for the occasion, if Delhi police SWAT weren’t a complete and utter disgrace this role should be given to
Them.
NSG in the future should evolve into a FBI HRT type entity- small but very specialised and given parity with tier1 military units. CTTF is actually an very commendable thing india has, perhaps it and ready teams in the hubs is all NSG should be in the future not this mammoth entity it is right now.
+ there were barely 30 Garuds at pathankot, that mission was never going to succeed without NSG.
