Quite old video of 31RR OP in Shopian, when the unit had a mixture of PARA SF/Airborne, JAKRIF,JAKLI and Ladakh Scouts... Nk Sub Uttam Singh SM retired as the SM of 3SF and also got a Army Chief Commendation Card for some cross border OP.:D

Now 31RR is just PARA SF chaps with some chaps from a Tier-1 unit within the PARA SF...
If iam not wrong only SG is considered T-1 unit right?

SG is not an SF first of all, its mandates were different when it was created, when it was re-raised the mandate was changed again and at present its mandate is different!

The unit I mentioned is an unit within the Army SF:)

They have moved onto CAT tourniquet. Idk if you are right abt this esmarch thing ?

Most of the times, the helmet is not ill fitting (heck it comes in just two sizes M/L and XL), it's just that the guys are not aware about setting up the retension system.
Look at the pics of 9 para, all helmets sit the way they should. For tactics, I would suggest you to closely study the kit being worn.
Dump pouches, multiple placard configurations on the plate carrier, using m4a1s, IR chemlights, adopting paddle belt/high rise holsters and utilizing tech like BFTs. If you know exactly what these are, you'll have a rough Idea about how they must have developed decent SOPs compared to a lot of units.
In Tier-1/2 US SF/SoF units helmets are tailor made according to each soldier.Here it is not practical.

You can't pay me enough to be his security in charge .
I will krill myself due to the stress induced by his recklessness
Definitely a very stressful job and one of the hardest that's why always highly rated SPG guys

Surely will make a post on SG, will try to clear as many doughts as possible!

[Note: Can't change the mindset of exfarts who think SG is some superhuman unit, those days are long gone.]
Humble request to all knowledgeables here, someone clear this SG khichdi by writing a good post.
That can also be used for future reference incase new members come or any other developments happen.
