So MARCOS are deployed in small numbers, sometimes Para guys operate in Kashmir as big as a team of 20 or 36 also...like the Op where Ln Nk Mohan Nath Goswami got killed, there were 36 operators from 9.I haven't seen the footage yet but are MARCOS leading the op or just embedded with Paras/RR!
MARCOS already deploy in numbers less than that, and deploy in prahars or half prahars (8-4 guys) sometimes, according to their own citations I have read for shaurya chakra awardees they might need 2 prahars that will make it 16 people
Usually they are always embedded with another force, the British SBS operates in similar manner, sending 4-8-16 guys from SBS embedded with SFSG and/or conventional forces like Gurkhas or Marines. Like in Operation Ilois
