Do SSG(N) operators operate along the AF-PAK border on deputation?

Yes they do.

Aswell as along Indo Pak border.

Speaking technically, SSG is not "deputed" to operate on our own borders. They are assigned missions and duties and they fulfill them. Deputation in the military has a very specific connotation which applies to loaning personnel of the armed forces on a temporary basis to another governmental department/agency or a foreign government.

The SSG has started using FN Minime in some numbers after switching from MG3 to PKM.

Muscular strength is also a very important part of it --- and if you look at most spec ops units worldwide, they tend to be better built. This is something I also noted in Wajahat S Khan's piece on Zarrar, one of our Tier 1 CT units. The guys definitely need to have a bit more muscle mass, and also cover their faces with balaclavas as is the norm with Tier 1 units!!!

Motay, skinny, muscular, lean, none of it matters if you are in any of the Special Service units of the sister services.

In these units, the common refrain is either you put out or you get out. There is no "room" given to any of the operators or officers if they are not meeting standards (this applies the same to the young 20 year old newly inducted operator or a seasoned lifer in the SSG in his 40s.) The chap you see with the big girth around his waist will give as much as the skinny chap next to him. You are running through mandatory obstacle courses which you have to clear, same goes for runs and route marches. At the end of the day, it is the personal responsibility of each jawan and officer to cater to whatever amount of weight he wants to put on those two legs of his. If he cannot meet standards (they are tough by any measure), he is out. Its a very black and white situation.

Some people have mesomorphic or endomorphic builds which means they are incredibly tough and strong but will always look fat. Others will be wiry and tough but will not put on a lot of muscle and mass. This has a lot to do with our environment, climate and the diet.

The purpose of the SF is not to put out gladiators. It is about taking a half decent soldier and giving him the psychological drive and motivation to overcome challenges. Trust me on this that more muscular tees maar khans have failed the SSG qualification tests than the skinny, wiry types. Its about being physically fit and mentally tough. You need not be the strongest physically, but certainly strong enough to carry yourself and your load and then have the mental resiliency to weather whatever comes your way. This is what makes the troops special.

RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Army soldiers have won an international sniping and shooting competition in Beijing, said the Inter-Services Public Relations on Thursday.

The team representing Pakistan Army secured first position in all individual and team events.



Naik Arshad was declared the best sniper in the competition, which was attended by 21 teams representing 14 countries.



In July, a Pakistan Air Force (PAF) C-130 Hercules transport aircraft won the Concours D’ Elegance trophy at the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) Show 2016 at Royal Air Force Base Fair Ford in the United Kingdom.

More than 200 aircraft from 50 countries participated in the competition, with the Pakistani contingent stealing the show and winning the trophy.

Last year, a team of Pakistan Army won the gold medal in the premier patrolling event of the British Army - Exercise Cambrian Patrol - beating around 140 teams from armies across the globe.
