Indian Special Forces

Again, looking at the outdated CQB tactics used by Para SF

Para SF stacking up, very tightly packed, very less mobility, if you do a high ready or low ready here you risk overlapping fields of fire and flagging each other

that also works.......if you read G Sqn's operations in Annaconda they go about environmental recce and stuff, climbing mountains, testing gear, driving snowmobiles, preparing larger force for combat...that's what Alpine SG would do I guess.

Also SRR does similar to what G Squadron does, Black Squadron does, ISA does infact....

Realizing how much overlap all of them had in JSOC, Lt Gen Stanley McChrystal formed the Joint Special Operations Command Intelligence Brigade which had all these units, be it G Squadron, Black, ISA (TF Orange) working together and that's what SRR is also doing

Any idea if SG has some maritime capability too ?
Agree, also if you noticed CV Singh saab mentioned that some troops are tasked/reserved for Foreign Deployment & Covert action. I think its safe to assume that one troop per team/sqn is tasked with the things CV saab mentioned, that mean 04 troops or a Sqn level strength is for the duties he talked about.

AFAIK, they are organised just like SF i.e. each Team/Sqn got troops for CI/CT, HAW, CFF, etc. Maritime element most likely is provided by CD qualified men from SFs as I haven't read SG sending chaps for diving.

Also ASG is just a regular Vikas unit which was converted so that the pioneer SG can be relieved from HAW role, other than this the ASG is similar to another Vikas Airborne unit.

That's very insightfull thanks!
Do these different troops for different tasks switch resposnsibility ?
 
Check FOG's stories....they're back in Porkistan

Well, though they are present here, they're likely to guard high-value assets during conflict, political instability, or transitions of power. I belive there is going to be some transition of power. They are acting as high-security protection for elites or critical infrastructure (banks, vaults, airports) which they've posted about so I think that's what they're protecting - assets not humans

Providing mobile cover(Jammer Vehicle) and PSO duties to a senior paki army officer(could be COAS or CoS).

this is the first time i'm seeing IWI GL-40 UBGL on a Tavor, that too recent flat-top version

are we in process of complimenting / replacing those M203 pattern UBGLs for Tavor / X-95 ?
GL40s common these days although since a large number of Battalions are using older Tars, MKEK T40s are still around.

Also MARCOS, these days aren't seen with any UBGLs but here's a guy with a GL 40

These officers from the 90s-00s are so freaking cool man!

Guys, give this one a watch as well.

Has a lot of interesting stuff:

- modifying vz58 to carry a LAM (in those days)
- 100 kills by 31 rr cdo in one calendar year
- basic drills of operating; raids, room intervention, etc. (nothing spectacular but rinsed and repeated to perfection)

Another scholarly warrior after Maj Sapru.

And you can't help but notice the glaring gap b/w officers then and the ones now.

i don't think 2 para and 31 rr will be remembered kindly by history for the 2021-2024 patch. no doubt about that.

officers back then were humble, willing to learn and unlearn and supported by equally competent senior commanders.

The int failures, ambushes and lack of counter attacks, unable to track trts in the jungles talk a lot about the degradation of the current cadres.

Sapru sir was Alpha Team Cdr during this period.

Interesting that a buddy pair of just two men went in knowing that atleast 04 pigs were inside. Mind you that that time 2 was Airborne only and conversion only began in 1999.

Current GOC of 15 corps belong to the same cadre of SF officers
Np, thnx!

I think so, there was some video or blog in which it was mentioned that all the four teams/sqns switch roles frequently.
Correct terminology is Team - Troop - Squad. Squadron misnomer was started by that Levina madam and co i Suppose

Sadt part is that within one battalion there are multiple SOP of cqb and other tactics which affects at regiment level
