Indian Special Forces

They did constantly trained with american sof for few years now.
Heck their new gear is direct result of that.

MARCOS usually is seen with Foriegn Ex in Multinational Ex - APAC/AFrica etc
We have done these ex with Asian Countries, South Africa, South American Countries - these Ex are usually diplomatic in nature - value accretion is low.

MARCOS has done jt ex with the SEALS ( like ex Sangam) and USMC on a handful of ocassions - again few days / 1 week type durations - more Diplomatic / FID in nature to build "interoperability"

They dont really provide the "upskilling" you seem to hinting at. - Unless you have other info?

At best its Exposure - and IMO the higher educated Officer Cadre see the value of the new PPE etc and since their budget outflow requirements are low its easy to do.

NOTE - alot of Indian Naval Ships (and by default the Ship Command) spend time on foriegn shores and have been getting exposed to their Global Counterparts. Alot of MARCOS forward movement can be chalked up to that as well.

The Exposure is through the (extremely) narrow lense of VBSS and Waterborne intrediction Ops during Multinational Ex. The Tactics they are being exposed to will be abinitio.

The upgrade in kit i will lay down on 2 things

1. More/better educated/Exposed Officer cadre - across Naval Command
2. Small size of MARCOS - lower percapita spend - faster standardization.

Right!

About Naval officers..

Well educated and keep rotation which helps them be grounded.

Secondly,technical officers like myself who know what technology can bring and not shy away from systems and upgrading.

Like it or not a non science background guy will never like getting in the nuts and bolts of things.

Education is very important.


Lastly, the mindset of everyone is a Ship and either we will sail together or sink together.

So True - IMO the need for evolution is in the DNA of Sailors.

On a lighter note..

You know why Star treks and star wars are based on the Navy system

Bcoz even in the future they knew thats the better way of managing crew.
