All are good in their own capacity as per the roles assigned to them.

Weapons wise all are same.

The leadership of all these paramilitary is from one source, officers i mean.

Roles nearly the same.

One looking after hot plains and desert areas, other two looking after hilly terrains & deserts of balochistan.

Difference would be that FC NWFP may have seen more action then the others.

All correct!

As for the action FC Balochistan has also seen lot of action, similarily the Rangers also have seen action but that was a different one, i mean anti-dacoit, law enforcement etc etc.

BTW, i think what's the need for comparing these all, they have the same kinda leadership and training and they have different taskings and roles, we cant compare such things.

i think they need better training and equipment esp anti terrorist.

Yes sir agreed, all these paramilitary forces have seen some action of one kind or another.

I mentioned FC NWFP because in the last few years their share & magnitude of action in tribal has raised them in this category from the other para-military forces, but in fighting spirit & capability all would be the same once the occasion comes.

if officers are from army then what is the difference between paramilitary and army training?

 

[Xeric]

if officers are from army then what is the difference between paramilitary and army training?

Ok let me explain:

Officer being from the Army wouldnt mean that the under-commands would also be getting the same training as the regular army undergoes. Officer are trained in PMA, the Army troops get trained in their respective Centers with an emphasis on a specific job that they have to perform in war time. The main difference comes when it comes down to responsibility and tasking. FC has a different job to do and Rangers are there to carry out other tasks, and the Military itself has its own dedicated tasks, so their training has to be different. Police also wears a uniform and are brother in arms but their job is totally different then the Army and the FC so even if they, for instance, are commanded by the military people they would have to be trained on a different line.

Moreover, all this echelons are trained at different places with different syllabi according to their primary tasks so the level of training has to be different, furthermore, as different kind of training entails different kind if expenditures therefore the same kinda training is not given to all. It's like the FBI has to be different than SWAT and SSG has to be different than the regular Army.

i hope you understand, have any more queries feel free to ask.

yes but the deputation of army officers is a huge strain on the army itself - it reduces the pool of officers within the army!

Why don't they have their own officer cadre ?

 

[courageneverdies]

It created resentment in Bangladesh because there the paramilitary forces number was composed of Bengalis & officer cadre was mixed but composition was not equal rather bengali officer were less & they were asked to go against their own people.

The Rangers are a mixed composure, u would be seeing people from all areas, but FC is different. In FC also it has a mixed officer cadre but the number of Pushtun officers is more & mostly the commandant is a Pushtun officer to have a working relationship.

Administrative & Operational Issues.

 

[TaimiKhan]

Why don't they have their own officer cadre ?

The Rashtriya Rifles was raised as a para-military force and it was envisaged that its personnel would consist of regular Army volunteers on deputation, ex-servicemen and lateral inductees from various para-military forces and central police organisations. However, this never happened and the force has consisted of only regular Army personnel.

Indian RR, Assam Rifles, Defence Security Corps & Indian Coast Guard have serving officers from the armed forces, so why don't they have their own officer cadre ???

Same answer.

Same answer.

Partially correct, my Q remains unanswered. Answering a Q with a Q does not help.

In addition to those listed above, there also exist The BSF, CRPF, ITBP, CISF to name a few . All these large Para Military forces have their own officer cadre. On being raised Army Officers were seconded but thereafter no more once the orgnisations took off. They now have their own officers. All these are part of the Interior Ministry.

The DSC comprises entirely of Ex Servicemen, there is no way a retired Army Officer can be re mustered like soldiers can.

The link below relates to the Coast Guard. You may find it informative.
