In A Historic Move, The Indian Navy Lets Women Join The Special Forces MARCOS

The Indian Navy has decided to let women join its elite special forces. This will be the first time in any of the three defence services that women can serve as commandos.

The army, navy, and air force special forces are made up of the strongest soldiers who go through tough training. They are able to act quickly and quietly in restricted areas, and until now, only men have been allowed to join.

“Now, women in the navy who meet the requirements can become marine commandos (Marcos). India’s military history has never been the same since. But no one is put in charge of special forces units directly. “People have to sign up for it.”

A second official says that both female officers and sailors who join the service as Agniveers next year will be able to volunteer to become Marcos if they want to.

The Marcos have been trained to do many different things, and they can work on land, sea, and in the air.

These commandos can carry out covert attacks on enemy warships, offshore installations, and other key assets. They can also do specialised diving operations and observation and reconnaissance missions to support naval operations.

They can even fight terrorists at sea, and they have been used to fight terrorism in the Wular lake area of Kashmir.

Now, women can join all parts of the navy, including special operations, aviation, and ship duties. It has become a force that doesn’t care about men or women. There are plenty of chances for people who have what it takes.
The navy’s special forces wing is now open to women. This comes as the force gets ready to let women join for the first time in the personnel below officer rank (PBOR) cadre.

At the INS Chilka training centre in Odisha, the navy is keeping a close eye on the training of its first class of Agniveers, which includes women. There were 341 women in the first group of 3,000 recruits for the navy.
