The NSG or the national security guard is Indian special forces unit under the Ministry of Home Affairs
NSG commandos are ranked among the top ten special forces in the entire world
So here's some facts that you should know about the NSG commandos
How's it going? Everybody my name is Leroy Kenton?
And this is FTD facts so for a while now you guys have been requesting for us to do a video about the NSG commandos
Well here it is and guys before I continue in this episode
I want to know if you could be part of any military group
what would that be let me know down there and guys if you want us to do more videos like this give this video a
Thumbs up if it gets over 1,000 likes we'll definitely be working on a lot more videos relating to the NSG
And other combat units all right, so let's begin with the facts vanna's G was started in
1984 following
Operation Blue Star and the assassination of Indira
Gandhi operation bluestar was an Indian military operation that occurred between June 1st and June 8th
1984 and it was ordered by Prime Minister
Indira Gandhi in order to establish control over the Golden Temple in Amritsar Punjab
And this was all in efforts to remove militant religious leader
Jarnail Singh Bindra wali and his militant armed followers
From the complex buildings as a specialized force. It is intended for the use only in exceptional
Situations and not meant to take over the functions of the state police forces or other
paramilitary forces yet over the years the role of the NSG has vastly expanded to provide personal security to
influential politicians now the NSG personnel are often referred to in the media as Black Cats
This is because of the black dress and black cat insignia worn on their uniform also according to the NSG website
It's modeled after the German gsg-9
Now the gsg-9 if you don't know is the elite police tactical unit of the German Federal Police
Now the NS G's motto is to provide the best
Security and safety for its country's borders as well as the people inside the borders and its motto is
Omnipresent omnipotent tenth defense and it's written in the Sanskrit language
Now one thing to take note is that these guys do not play around because they are trained to take only head shots
as India's premier Counter Terrorist response team the NSG commandos
Are trained to take literally only head shots, and this is to neutralize the target as quickly as possible
now speaking of head shots moving on now to their target practice and
NSG personnel does more firing in one week of alert status than in their entire
10-year career in the indian army so on an average a commando would fire close to
14,000 rounds over a period of two months in alert status
Which are daily drills and practices in realistic scenarios the target strike rate has to be above?
85% for a person to remain in the NSG the smallest combat unit in the NSG is called a hit
Which includes five members?
there's two pairs as well as a technical support member four hits make up a team which is under the command of a
captain and in terms of female and SG commandos although female commandos are trained by the NSG
They are yet to achieve the Permanent Commission
however ever since India got its first female full-time defence minister
It's expected that a quick deployment of NSG female commandos for anti-terror operations
Along with milk commandos will happen and the final fact
I want to share is related to the Polident badge now this badge does not come easy you got to be like
extreme hardcore commando together thing the baldon badge is earned by NSG commandos
Even though a candidate may have cleared selection. He is not formally inducted into the regiment until
completion of the Ballad end pad where after training a
Candidate is involved in active operations in a hostile zone for one
Year provided that the candidate survives a ballot on tab
He is given the balidaan badge and formally inducted into the regiment the one thing to note all indian
Paratroopers are volunteers
The undergo a three-month probationary period and selection process where they are exposed to sleep deprivation
humiliation
Exhaustion as well as mental and physical torture, so if you're thinking about joining these guys well
You just gotta be ready for some intense training. So those are some facts about the NSG commandos
I hope you guys found this video interesting, and if you weren't familiar with them. I hope you learned some new interesting information
