You are arguing with a guy taught to believe that

- A pakistani is equal to 10 Indians
- ISI is the best intelligence agency in the world
- Their Air Force pilot are gifted and best in the galaxy
- Their Army is the most battle hardened most brave and never lost a battle

This is the cost of Free India ,really this increased the respect in me for Indian Armed / Security Forces more.

@PARIKRAMA Is the course for Garuda and MARCOS similar ?

Much longer... There initial screening and training is different

Taken from Internet http://www.ssbcrack.com/2015/12/how-to-join-garud-commando-force.html

For selection

• Non-Commissioned Post – The selection for GARUD is done directly and not from volunteers, through Airmen Section Centres. Recruitment is initiated by the release of notification/ advertisement. Most interestingly, there is no second chance for section. Means it’s now or never. And after selection, you have to make grade during your training schedule. And if you fail, you are out. After the completion of training, the trainees are merged into the force. After joining the force, one keeps in this stream till he serves in Indian Air force.
• Commissioned Posts – Commissioned post for GARUD units are filled by the cadets of ground duty at Air force Academy, Dundigal. And for GDOC, you have AFCAT exam. After getting trained, they get into the GARUD unit.

As far as training is concerned, the initial phase of training takes place at GARUD regiment training centre, Hindan. Next phase of training is given by a special group consisting of members form Army, NSG, Paramilitary force and Special Frontier force. Along with this, these men gets training under parachute training school, diving school of Navy and jungle warfare school of Army. And final phase is meets with Special Forces units of Army

I remember Garuda training being 72 weeks
Marcos Pretraining is a selection of 3 day test and a 5 week torture comprising of physical and mental exhaustion like 100 hours of SF paratroopers. Then main training of almost 2 years to sometimes even longer 3 years,

The main difference between PARA (SF) and Garud/MARCOs selection/training is that PARA (SF) only recruit from active duty soldiers who have to be reccommended by their COs to be sent for selection in the first place meaning that PARA (SF) recruits will already have undergone extensive screening and training before they even get to the SF selection test.

The Garuds and MARCOs recruit civlians from the street so their selection and training phases are quite a bit longer as they need to weed out the very weakest and impart basic soldiering skills to the recruits before even begining the advanced training for SF.

IIRC the Garuds have the longest training/selection regime of any Indian SF (around 3 years in total) purely because civilians can apply directly to join this unit- with the PARA (SF) this is not an option.

It is a very similar situation with the US Army SF (Green Berets) where they only recruit from other army units but SEALs and USAF SF recruits can be civilians right off the street. It is this reason (I have heard) that many US army units prefer to work with the Green Berets and CAG (Delta force) rather than the SEALs or Marine SF as the former have basic soldiering experience under their belts (many would have served in the infantry).

Seen it.. and believe me.. its just mind boggling.. it was little short as expected as they will never reveal its real training on national security.. that 100kms run was no joke..
@John Reese stop arguing with green flag.. they will never accept it.

According to the US, there is a difference between 'Special Operations Forces' (SOF) and 'Special Forces' (SF).

With our distinctions, even with the grey areas, the only branch with a truly 'special forces' unit is the US Army Special Forces, aka 'The Green Berets', but do not call an SF trooper that. As a group, they do not like that label. The USN SEAL teams could be arguably be classified as 'special operations' unit, rather than SF. In my associations with the USAF Combat Controllers and Pararescue guys, when I was stationed at MacDill AFB, these guys straddles the fence between being SOF and SF. The US Army Rangers is SOF rather than SF.

Would you believe...???

https://www.army.mil/article/140763/F_16_pilot_earns_Ranger_tab__performs_flyover_at_ceremony

Yes, you read that right. A USAF Security Police trooper and an F-16 pilot qualified to wear the Ranger tab. Not the 75th Ranger Regiment tab. Just the Ranger tab. A cop ? Yes. But a pilot ? Shocking.

For our Pentagon brass, the distinction between SOF and SF is not mere semantics. It is very much philosophical and affects the entire force structure.

Special Ops means there are operations that requires the man to excel beyond the usual expectations of his skills. The Ranger is a light infantry unit but they raised the bar on what is an infantryman. The mission have not changed -- infantry. Just that all the skills associated with an infantryman is now higher. There are no USAF special forces units simply because the skills of flying are the same, but USAFSOC pilots do need to develop some piloting skills that are out of the ordinary from the normal ranks. Instead of flying 5 hrs of night vision (NVG) sorties a month, a USAFSOC pilot may need to fly 5 hrs of NVG a week. Huge difference, but the basis skill sets are the same.

An operation is not the same as a mission. An operation is short term while a mission can be indeterminate in length.

This is why the US Army Special Forces sees themselves as the only true 'special forces' unit in the entire US military, not just the Army. Supposedly, proficiency in at least one non-English language is required, and that it takes longer to train a SF trooper than to train a fighter pilot. Medical training for SF medics is on a par of that an emergency room doctor, so to call them 'medics' is actually demeaning. The US Army SF units do not have operations but missions.

Just an FYI on just one aspect of the US military.

According to the US, there is a difference between 'Special Operations Forces' (SOF) and 'Special Forces' (SF).

India is Building on similar fashion as US structure Although our structure is Mix of both Royal and US Forces
although we lack in technical perspective and Equipments

We to have SOF and Special Forces

Although we lack Single command Like Single command Like USSOCOM or SOCOM)
which are Sighted in various Analysis and Published reports

Same here we Learning Urdu ,Pashto others which are demanded as per requirement

@Abingdonboy @PARIKRAMA

Do you guy Seen them Learning Pashto and Urdu Etc

Buddy Target Practice in Which Targets are 40 inch From Opposite buddy head In Across Formation With Live Bullets

 

[gambit]

Same here we Learning Urdu ,Pashto others which are demanded as per requirement

I will not presume on the Indians, but for US, specifically for the US Army SF, learning a non-native language to assess one's intelligence is different from requiring knowing a non-native language as part of one's core mission requirements.

I will use myself as example when I was active duty. I am a naturalized US citizen as a Vietnamese-American. English is considered native since the US is an English speaking country, that mean despite me being foreign borne, Vietnamese is considered a non-native language. The USAF may see that as a positive as far as personal development goes, but the USAF have no foreseeable missions where the Vietnamese language is necessary. I was assigned to England and saw much of Europe. No use for the Vietnamese language there.

Why just these languages? The list is far longer.

Buddy Target Practice in Which Targets are 40 inch From Opposite buddy head In Across Formation With Live Bullets

Such "confidence drills" are common in all Indian SF training and other specialised schools (CIJWS, Corps battle school etc etc).

This is Part Our Course too Language Specialization Course I already mentioned If you are posted in Kashmir you have to Know Pashto &Urdu Ladakhi and others

NE SF Battalion Guy Have Different requirement So on others It depends Were you are operationally deployed

For Example

Indian SFF under R&AW are Specialised Force for Chinese Theatre Have Similar Operational Background Like SAG CIA

We Use them in Different Theatre Also but India Is Not Has US Presence Across the Globe
So We Modified training According to our Strategies And Requirements
