GUWAHATI: The army is raising a new Special Forces' battalion primarily for conducting counter-insurgency operations in the northeast. The new unit of the Parachute Regiment 11 Para (SF) will be first deployed in the NE sector, a source in the army said.
The decision was made to strengthen the army's capabilities to carry out special operations in the insurgency-hit region, he added. The Special Forces, also known as Para commandos, will be used in operations which are beyond the functions of a normal infantry battalion.
The 11 Para (SF) will be deployed under the Tezpur-based 4 Corps and 3 Corps in Dimapur. Personnel of the unit will be taken by aircraft or helicopters to conduct surgical strikes or special operations depending on the situation.
