NSG's Black Cat commandoes get an upgrade
State/paramilitary forces and Army personnel also taking lessons from the NSG to hone their skills for VIP protection.
It’s makeover time for India’s Black Cat commandoes of the National Security Guards, a specialised counter-terrorism and anti-hijack force that came into being in 1986. The commandoes of the elite force, modelled on the pattern of the UK’s SAS and Germany’s GSG-9, have now been equipped with a new bullet-resistant shield and smarter communication sets besides getting a better weapon profile to enhance their fire power and abilities to counter the threat facing political figures they protect. Dalip Singh takes a look.
Game-changing equipment in the close-protection regime...
Bullet-resistant shield that is folded like a thin briefcase and carried by one of the Black Cat commandoes moving ahead of the VVIP protectee
HOW IT WORKS
The commando is supposed to flick the case open which unfolds into a hanging shield to cover the VIP against incoming bullets. Until now only the SPG, which guards Prime Ministers, had this handy protector.
Commandoes now get hands-free communication sets (ear piece sets) — bulky walkie talkies that kept their hands occupied are now a thing of the past Fire power has been enhanced Automatic sub-machine guns used include: Heckler & Koch MP5, assault rifles like AK-47, Glock pistol and Glock knife.
Reorienting commandoes with global best practices in personal security
Idea is to lend an element of sophistication to business of protection, to make it look effortless Stay below the radar: Globallyaccepted proximate security principle demands that guards movements should be innocuous to catch intruders by surprise Commandoes allowed to wear goggles; aim is to use physical appearance as a psychological deterrence tool Trained for better observation and threat perception techniques during movement in public
Skillsets introduced for NSG commandoes on VIP security duty...
Black Cats taught muzzle discipline — pointing barrel of the gun towards the earth and not up in the air.
The earlier drill of encircling the protectee has been dispensed with and replaced by a dynamic and flexible walkabout depending upon the situation.
Coaching others forces as well...

State police — which forms outer layer of protection — being sensitised for better coordination Training classes for Sri Lankan security force personnel.

NSG can counter any kind of attack: Shri Rajnath Singh
Union Home Minister, Shri Rajnath Singh said that the National Security Guard (NSG) is a world class ‘zero error’ force and can counter any kind of attack in minimum response time. He was inaugurating the 28 Special Composite Group (SCG) Complex of NSG at Ibrahimpatnam in Hyderabad today. Speaking on the occasion, the minister said that the NSG which comprises of army and paramilitary forces has multi-dimensional responsibility of countering terrorist attacks/hijack attempts and also providing proximate security. He said that the NSG Hub has state of the art training facilities of global standards. The NSG also undertakes joint exercises with state police forces thereby helping in increasing their professional capabilities. He further said that with a view to decrease response time after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, the government has set up National Security Hubs at Mumbai (NSG 26), Chennai (NSG 27), Hyderabad (NSG 28), Kolkata (NSG 29) and Gandhinagar (NSG 30).
The Minister said that terrorism which has become universal is posing new challenges through social media too, and security forces need to strengthen their technical capabilities to counter these challenges. Shri Rajnath Singh congratulated the 16 members NSG team which would attempt to scale Mount Everest in 2019. He said NSG is better than best forces, and expressed confidence that the force would counter any challenge efficiently and effectively.
Earlier, welcoming the gathering Shri Sudeep Lakhtakia, DG, NSG, said that the NSG hub at Hyderabad has the states of Chathisgarh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Odisha under its purview.
He said the NSG has conducted joint exercises with USA, and France as part of its capacity building efforts. The NSG has countered 115 terrorist attacks and have been awarded 3 Ashok Chakras, 3 Keerti Chakras, 3 Shourya Chakras, 109 Police medals, which stand as a testimony to the NSG’s competence. The NSG hub at Ibrahimpatnam, Hydrabad is a green campus spread over sprawling 200 acres and constructed in an eco-friendly manner, he added.
Shri E.S.L. Narasimhan, Governor of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Shri Nayini Narasimha Reddy, Minister for Home Affairs, Government of Telangana and several senior police officials were present.
A demonstration to showcase the capabilities of the NSG personnel in combat, attacks and other situations was also organised.
