TRANSCRIPT

  • 1. Every legally elected government/state faces violent confrontation. Many such movements/conflicts develop due to perceived notions/misplaced grievances. In growing & developing societies such threats will continue to emerge, develop and grow.

2. State has to put security apparatus in place to face and deal with such menace. In many countries Army performs this role. In India Law Enforcement Agency i.e. Police does the same. One of the gravest internal security threats - Naxalism. Spreading its wing affecting 1/3rd of India. Naxal movement - lost their ideology and turned increasingly brutal ,senseless & violent . 3. Naxalites- Left wing extremists. Take their name from Naxalbari- a hamlet in West Bengal where an agrarian revolt started in 1967. Spread to Andhra Pradesh and other parts of India. Prefer to call themselves Maoists now. 4. Philosophy Reject democracy and elected Government. Rage protracted war to seize power. Steadfast offensive campaign. No scope/inclination for talks or any form of engagement. Build bases in village. Form guerrilla zones. Try to establish parallel administrative set-up jantana adalat . Prevent organized development to alienate the populace. Encircle urban areas and seize power. 5. Sudden Attacks. Blitzkrieg -use of disproportionate and overwhelming strength/ resources. Ingenious use of IEDs. Exploit intimate knowledge of terrain and conditions. Use of innocent civil populace to shield and exploit sit. Stall economic and developmental activity through bans and boycotts. Psychological warfare. manner of killing should frighten more than killing itself. 6. Need to set up specialized units. Intense and dedicated training -combination of technology & experience. Equipped with modern weapons & ammunition, intelligence gathering equipment, tactical accessories & suitable transportation. Extremely mobile, agile and capable of undertaking swift and precise operations. Undertake operations based on precise and actionable intelligence. Establish ground based human intelligence network. Paradigm shift in combat doctrine -Present arrangement exposed the vulnerability. 7. Dense Vegetation Limited visibility Streams n rivers Heat n Humidity Far n Few Roads Treacherous Tracks Limited communication Thus it requires spl tactics, techniques n procedure to combat this menace. 8. Combat Training including physical and mental conditioning. Tactical Operations Training with stress on honing Field and Battle Craft. Shooting skills including dynamic and under stress/ operational situations. 9. Emphasis on Practical's/Outdoor Ex. To achieve:- Thinking soldier. Physical conditioning & toughness. Unarmed Combat. Know about weapon (behave & potential) by dry and different unconventional firing practices. Operations with minimum or no administrative tail. Implementing the maxim Fight a Guerrilla like a Guerrilla only can beat the enemy in their own way of fighting. 10. CASO SADO QRT ROP CPD Patrolling especially Jungle terrain and villages. Ambush including Area and Counter Ambush. Raid hideouts and training camps. Search-Sweep and Encirclement. Room Intervention and Clearance. Surveillance and Observation drills. Counter IED drills. 11. Small Team Concept as also rehearsal in buddy pair. Map Reading & GPS Jungle Survival Handling of IED and explosives/chemicals Intense practice in night operations move, firing, identification, terrain reading etc. Hands on trg in handling comn system, first aid etc. Planning of operation and briefing on Sand Model. Dry rehearsal/practice on Mock set up. One Minute Drills - to make response more faster and work as a team in different situations. 12. Under stress and operational conditions with minimum collateral damage/ innocent kills. Firing on the Move including firing from difficult positions and situations. Reflex and precise shooting on Pop Up targets with varied movements. Left and Right shoulder/door firing skills. Multiple target firing. 13. Night firing. Jungle Lane Shooting. Room Shooting. Grenade Firing including UBGL. Indirect weapon firing 2 Mortar. Sniping and Precise shooting at longer distances. Change of direction and Fire. 14. To enhance human performance of the operator. Offers minimum obstruction, restriction to human biomechanics. Keeps the body thermal condition optimum. Retains 360 of natural mobility of body. Sort of force multiplier in achieving the mission of neutralizing the assailants. 15. Surgical operation in the most challenging physiological and psychological condition. In the sub second time frame of close combat, even minor differences and defects in design-lethal. Solution selected must be appropriate for specific needs. 16. Ballistic and fragmentation protection equipment . Tactical body armor System. Man-armor interface that allows maximal human interface. Right combination of technical material ,ergonomics design and equipment construction. It should be able to reduce blast energy upward and absorb splinters in its sidewalls. 17. Defense control rescue assault system. Speed and precision allow instant domination and rapid termination of threats. MPV -with & fully loaded operation in the hull 18. Present weapon system designed more for close shoot out Requirement for medium range application. Assault Rifles,12 bore pump action gun, Sniper Rifles. Equipped with modern sighting systems such as Magnified optics telescopic sights, holographic/ reflex sight, night and thermal sights. Aiming in low/no light . Quick target acquisition with pin point accuracy. Both eyes better situational awareness advantage. Big sight and realistic picture. Precise Shooting Assistance Accessories such Laser grips, Vertical fore grip and Laser fore-grips. 19. Body Apparel Breathable Camouflage dress Tactical Vest Knee and Elbow pads Nomax (face) mask Tactical boots Gloves Armor Systems Body Armor Light weight and modular Ballistic helmet Ballistic Shields 20.
