This shortage of officers is a real problem. Units functioning bare number of officers.. at least in para units sufficient no of officers should be posted at all times.. wonder how adversely does this shortage effect the unit cohesion, capabilities.True 1 Para's goated.
Maj Abhay Sapru said before in a beerbiceps podcast that 1 Para has a sanction of 40 officers but only 13 are presently available. Which shows they do not compromize on standards at all.
P.S - are you sure Maj Sapru said this in beerbiceps ? I have seen the podcasts, but can't recall him saying this, & this is not detail that I would miss.
Just asking coz I can't bear to watch that schmuck beerbicep guy again to verify this detail.
