Well, these are the real dare-devils of the Indian Armed Forces. Unlike IAF and Indian Navy, who get postings only in delightful ares like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, etc etc, these front-line soldiers maybe present in siachen glacier on day and in Andaman island the very next day. These disciplined, tactical war specialists walk with their lives in their hands. The Indian soldiers are appreciably well trained, and they have a remarkable record for successfully accomplishing any task that comes to their hands, be it the war between nations, or in keeping peace in the country or even peace keeping missions in various countries. For example, in Sri Lanka in 1987-1990 the Indian Armed Forces participated under the mandate of the Indo-Sri Lankan accord. The Indian forces ended the civil war in Sri Lanka between millitant sri lankan tamil nationalists and LTTE and the Sri Lankan Military.
