what makes you think that marcos don't operate in URI!!?? the reason why the marcos was deployed in kashmir was to stop infiltration through Jhelum River(flowing through uri) and Wular Lake marcos have base in these area...
i think a soldier from RR know better than you and me. and UCP is not something which is common in Indian military.
there is noting called shuffling of team members in any unit during an operation. even the basic unit(the track) of marcos and para SF are different. para SF operates in 6 man team while marcos and garuds operates in 4. but it is not like you said.. they do joint operation tougher, not like marcos operate in one sector, RR operates in other sector and para SF in another.
i think you are talking about someone else.. that marco who is a recipient of SC is still in navy....
buddy i am not guessing anything, what i told you is something i learned for marcos and army personals.
yes 31 RR have tavor.. not only tavor they also have m4 and micro uzi... 31RR of RR is like SG of SFF.. 31 RR have a good training in special operations, they are also airborne qualified(as it is a part of parachute regiment).
Sir ji,Marcos were deployed in Wular Lake not in URI sector.They do operations around Wular and not URI.The IA top brass would never ask for any sort of help from Marcos as you guys come up with stories of regulars working with Marcos.
Only a guy who has no idea about the chain of command of the IA will talk like that.After the intel is recieved the local RR unit comes into action.If the operation looks complicated then only the SF is called like in Arnia and URI.
The Indian Army does not say "hello navy..please save my ***".
You know 1 RR guy..i know tens of them and specially those who have been involved in special operations and were part of a experiement in RR with CAT teams.
RR guys dont even know about Marcos and Garuds.Those who knlw have said they have never seen them.
The Army top brass trusts their Ghataks more than they would ever trust a Marcos.Ghataks are made up of local JAKLI and JAKRIF guys who grow beards and no one can distinguish between them and the civillians.
So after the RR thinks SF intervention is required the SF is called.Marcos either conduct operations on their own near their area of deployment that is Srinagar or they ask permissiom to be a part.
I hope you know that a unit deployed in one area cant behave like a A-Team and conduct operations anywhere they want.The RR's Kilo force wont go and kill terrorists in Delta Force area of responsibility even when it has intel.
Lastly,you know every 6 months i deal with a guy who says the same thing you say since the past 3 years.The news channel reported the Army SF to be in charge of URI and everyone saw that.Kupwara where you say that Marcos are deployed are ParaSF territory specially Lolab,hafruda and handwara operations.
Major Mohit Sharma and many other PARA SF operators have died in Kupwara.I find your story hard to believe coming from a Marcos fanboy.
P.S-Dont come up with i know a RR soldier and he knows it all thing...my dad was a RR sector commander in the 90s and many of my friends and relatives still serve in RR..Let your content speak rather than your contacts.The places you talk about have been all seen by me on 4 wheelers..and you are still assuming a lot after you say you know the RR guy so i find it very difficult to believe with all due respect.
Bro I find this hard to believe as there are SF elements attached to every RR unit meaning there is no need for a SG like RR unit. The SF work with the RR not separately.
You are right.Right now what is happening is that every RR unit has a special undercover team comprising of local guys and RR specialists in 6-8 man teams.They gather intel and are the first ones to react even before QRT.
Remember the pics of my friend in RR...he was part of that team.I cropped their faces or you would have seen they look exactly like kashmiri locals.
precisely.... this is what i said earlier.. SF is called in only when the operation is beyond R
looks like my 1st post didn't get anyone's attention... i will repeat the quistion...
