What Does ISIS Really Want?

Mass murders. Execution of hostages. Rapes. Terror Attacks. Does all these sound synonymous?

Hello, Warriors!

Indian intelligence recently said that ISIS may be planning to attack India by joining hands with the local terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba from Pakistan.

The name of ISIS has become synonymous with various crime and terror related activities. Established as the Islamic State of Iraq, it changed its name to Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) to Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to Islamic State (IS). This happened as they gained control over the respective territories.

After seizing the area around Mosul, Iraq, ISIS has a territory as big as the United Kingdom.

So, the real question is not what ISIS want but, why is ISIS doing what its doing.

The Islamic State sees itself as having established a caliphate. Having fulfilled the necessary requirement of possessing territory, believers are now obligated to observe all sharia laws. In theory this includes immigrating to the caliphate.

Failing to expand its territory in Iraq, ISIS went the other way- capturing Syria. This led to the mass migration and people fleeing Syria to different parts of the world as refugees.

ISIS looks after this as a form of struggle within oneself which is also referred to as Jihad. This is often related to being Islamic and often termed as Islamic Extremists. Scholars, on the other hand argue that the believe of the group is to kill the Infidels whereas Islam invites them to peace- the literal meaning of Islam itself is “Peace”.

“You can’t blame a teacher for a student’s poor marks when all the others scored well in the same test”, they say.

Many are often relating this as a result of people coming from the war torn Syria and asks their government to close their boundaries for them. How come people fleeing the same situation become a part and organizers of the situation?

Today, ISIS is the world’s richest terrorist group, its funding coming mostly from various extortion schemes in the territory it controls. But back in 2012, foreign donations played a crucial role in growing the group from the poor organization it was then into the monster it is today.

One thing to be rest assured is that any threat to India and its people will be tackled bravely by the 1.3 million strong force which had volunteered for such a thing and as Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has rightly quoted “Our Army of 1.3 million is not to ‘preach peace’”.

But, peace is always better than a war and who but a soldier can understand this? Let’s hope that peace prevails at least until, we, the aspirants can take over the reign of the armed forces tomorrow.

Story Of Captain Amitendra Kumar, NSG Commando Who Won’t Give Up

The captain and his team were airlifted from New Delhi at 1 am on November 27 and arrived in Mumbai at around 5 am. After spending about two-and-a-half hours discussing the situation on the ground with the police and other authorities, the NSG team was split into two groups.

One was sent to battle terrorists at the Taj, while the other, which included Captain Singh, was sent to the Oberoi and Trident hotels.

Upon reaching the Oberoi and Trident hotels, the commandos were met by the Indian Navy’s Marine Commandos who showed them the location of the terrorists and the secured fire exit route to enter the hotel. As soon as they entered the hotel, Captain Singh remembers the grenades being thrown from top of the building. A decision was made to start the search at the top instead of the bottom.

Once at the top, searching each floor was a long, tedious and depressing process; there were 6, 7 bodies that they stumbled upon on the 21st floor itself, and the sounds of the terrorists’s firing was never far away.

Many long hours and two floors later, the commandos made their first contact with the terrorists. Bullets came whizzing out of a particular room on the 18th floor, and the commandos ducked for cover.

Once the commandos assumed their positions, they returned fire and tried to blow open the door open with explosives. However, the enemy had barricaded the door with heavy furniture. Another quick decision was made — to increase the amount of explosives and bring the door down. While this maneuver worked, it only destroyed the upper half of the door. The NSG team was still outside, firing and throwing grenades in return at the ones that came from within the room. By now it was getting dark, and the commandos had to strain to see in the dim corridor lights.

Captain Singh was under cover behind a pillar, following the tactics and precautions of a firefight — he was wearing bulletproof headgear and jacket, keeping the noise and lights low, trying to gain the advantage of surprise, and moving away after firing. None of this helped when one of the terrorists flung a grenade at the commandos outside.

He felt as if someone had punched him hard in the eye. He immediately lay down flat, and felt the warm trickle of blood on his cheek. That is when he knew that he had been hit in the eye by a piece of shrapnel, and had to be evacuated immediately. At some point during the evacuation, he fell unconscious and woke up to find himself in the Bombay Hospital.

For two days afterwards, the injured captain was in agony. The excruciating pain in his eyes, coupled with the worry of not being able to get in touch with his family, made these two days insufferable. It was only two days later that he could open his right eye, and the hospital walls were the first thing he saw after the terrible incident.

Doctors at the Bombay Hospital have now confirmed that the optic nerve in his left eye has been damaged very badly, and that he will probably not regain vision in that eye.

However, this brave soldier assures us that he will not lose hope, and that he will go to Chennai for further treatment at the city’s Sankara Netralaya Eye Hospital. “Please pray for him,” says his fiance Dr Madhu Singh quietly.

She exudes strength and understanding when she recounts how she never stopped Amit (as she fondly calls him) from following his passion of joining the army. She plans to join the armed forces herself as a dentist next year.

The plucky young woman, who comes from an army background, smiles as she remembers how she first met Captain Singh at the coaching class for the medical entrance exam. The young man’s mother wanted him to become a doctor so he would attend classes to pacify her, while preparing for the army on the side.

“Of course, I used to feel scared that something might happen to him, but I understand his dream. So I have never stopped him from joining the army,” says Madhu.

The commando, who put himself in the line of fire and fought bravely with everything he had, now has his life turned upside down. The future holds several weeks of treatment in the hope that his eye can be saved.

If that unfortunately does not happen, Captain Singh will be declared a battle casualty and not permitted to participate in any future NSG or army missions. The commando will be assigned administrative tasks and other such duties. However, he will be entitled to all the perks, promotions, and benefits of the army. He may also be entitled to compensation. “Abhi toh mujhe service mein paanch hi saal hue the — nobody thinks anything will happen to them so soon,” he says. “Is liye maine pata bhi nahi kiya tha ki kya compensation hain.” (I have been in service for only five years. Nobody thinks anything will happen to them so soon. That is why I haven’t even found out what the compensation is).

Indian Naval Academy Passing Out Parade Nov 2015 1

Indian Naval Academy Passing Out Parade Nov 2015. Three hundred and thirty cadets of the Indian Navy and the Indian Coast Guard and six cadets from friendly foreign countries today passed through the portals of the Indian Naval Academy at Ezhimala near here on successful completion of their training, at an impressive passing out parade.

The passing out parade marked commissioning of the cadets of the 89th Indian Naval Academy Course (B Tech) and (MSc) courses into the Indian Navy here.

The passing-out cadets belonged to four different courses of the Autumn Term 2015–the 89th Indian Naval Academy Course (INAC) BTech & MSc courses, the 20th Naval Orientation Course (Extended), and the 21st Naval Orientation Course (Regular).

Also graduating and marching shoulder to shoulder with their male counterparts were women cadets from the Indian Navy and the Indian Coast Guard.

The parade was reviewed by the Chief of the Naval Staff, Admiral R K Dhowan.

After the ceremonial review, the Reviewing Officer awarded medals to nine meritorious cadets.

The Chief of the Naval Staff congratulated the passing-out cadets and advised them to serve the country and Navy with pride.

Later, talking to reporters, Dhowan said all measures have been taken to see that “while we induct more officers, do not compromise on the quality of our training.”

When asked about the shortage of officers and sailors, he said the shortages were overcome by optimum utilization of resources.

“…while we are overcoming the shortages, every single officer, every single sailor at the Navy will do the work of two people so that we can overcome the shortages,” he said.

Army Cadet College Produces Officers From Ranks

The saying “where there is a will, there is a way” holds true for the cadets undergoing training at the Army Cadet College. Rising against all odds, these men from the tri-services are working hard to achieve their dream of donning an Indian Army officer’s uniform.

A third termer, Cadet Jishu Raj managed to secure a berth in ACC in his first attempt. Having served in Army Air Defence for four years as operator (fire control), Raj was charmed by the life being led by officers in his regiment. “My father retired as a Subedar from Madras Regiment,” he said.

Speaking about the difficulties while preparing for the gruelling written exam and interview, Raj said, “Our unit was in the transit period. We had to move the entire unit from Bangalore to Leh, which was a herculean task and required the entire manpower. I studied whatever I could during the small break or journey period.”

Cadet Ravinder Singh Rawat, hailing from Kotdwar, said, “I used to carry my notes during the guard duty. Whatever rest period I got was spent in preparing for the exam,” he said. Son of a Subedar Major, Rawat served for two-and-a-half years in AAD before making it to ACC.

For cadet Sachin Dubey, a third generation soldier, joining Indian Army as an officer was a childhood dream. “I attempted getting into NDA but could not make it. It was my uncle, a Major in Corps of Signal and grandfather who kept on pushing me to try for ACC,” said Rawat, who worked in the IAF for four years.

“As part of my preparation, I used to have lots of discussions with my senior officers. Also, my trade involved reporting to the senior officers. This boosted my confidence greatly. In Air Force, unlike Army, we had a lot of time to prepare for the exam. The only issue was to plan the leave in accordance with the exam,” he added.

As for cadet Neeraj Negi, real life stories of Army officers involved in operations inspired him to join the ACC. “The challenging life of an officer and the manner in which he leads his men in war is an inspiration,” said the cadet who was part of the IAF for more than two years.

“Being from the ranks, we are aware as to what is expected out of an officer. We would like to become officers who are punctual, sincere, responsible and have compassion towards his men,” said cadet Rajender Kumar Singh, who served in the Indian Navy as radio operator for seven years.

Speaking about the cadets’ performance both at the ACC and IMA, Major Amit Dimri, the training officer at ACC, said they are a committed lot. “These cadets are sincere and are fast-learners. During the three-year training period, emphasis is laid on academics and developing the Officer Quotient in the cadets. They are already conversant with the technical aspects. We just need to work on their confidence and personality development,” he added.

Brig AS Chahal, commander, ACC, said, “During the three years, a cadet is provided with a graduation degree from the Jawahar Lal Nehru University. Apart from the regular curriculum and training schedule, we arrange guest lectures and visits.”

About Army Cadet College

With an aim to provide career advancement to meritorious Indian soldiers from the ranks into the officer cadre of the British Indian army, Fd Marshal Baron WR Birdwood established Kitchner College in 1929 at Nowgaon in Madhya Pradesh. The college was closed down in 1945 at the end of World War II. It was re-established as Army Cadet College (Nowgaon) and inaugurated on May 16, 1960 by the then Defence Minister VK Krishna Menon and Army chief Gen KS Thimayya. In 1964, the ACC was relocated to Ghorpuri in Pune, where, for the first time, SSB was introduced as pre-requisite selection criteria. ACC was then shifted to Dehradun In 1977. It was re-christened as ACC wing and became an integral part of the IMA.

Spouse grooming capsule

Among the cadets, some are married. Towards the end of the term, a 12-day training capsule called ‘Spouse Grooming Capsule’ is organised for their wives. The training is imparted by the wives of the instructors at this wing from social etiquettes to personal grooming in this capsule.

Generation system

In order to help the first-termers settle in the new lifestyle and gruelling schedule of ACC, there is a ‘Generation System’, where groups are formed. Given names such as Royal Mighty, Aquaguard, Scorpion and Dhoom, these generations develop bonds for a lifetime.

India Test Launches Supersonic AAD Interceptor Missile

Hello, Warriors!

The DRDO tested an indigenously developed supersonic interceptor missile- the Advanced Air Defense (AAD) missile on 22^nd November 2015 as part of its efforts to develop a full-fledged multi-layer Ballistic Missile Defence system.

The AAD is part of the first phase of India’s Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) initiative, along with the Prithvi Air Defense (PAD) missile. The Prithvi provides exoatmospheric defense while the AAD is optimized for endo-atmospheric performance.

The indigenously developed supersonic interceptor missile was fired from the Abdul Kalam Island off the Odisha coast and is capable of destroying any incoming ballistic missile, from a test range off Odisha coast.

Here are the 6 things you need to know about this advancement:

The interceptor AAD missile has been indigenously developed by the DRDO under Ballistic Missile Defence Programme.

The AAD missile is capable of destroying any incoming ballistic missile at lower (endo-atmospheric) altitude, giving full-fledged multi-layer Ballistic Missile Defence system to country.

It is a 7.5-meter tall and single stage solid rocket propelled guided missile, capable of Mach 4.5 supersonic flight.

It is equipped with a navigation system along with a hi-tech computer and an electro-mechanical activator.

It also has its own mobile launcher, sophisticated radars and independent tracking system to secure data link for interception and homing capabilities.

The AAD has an operational range between 150-200 kilometers and uses an inertial navigational aid system with active radar homing. So far, it has been test-launched from a transporter erector launcher (TEL).

The interceptor missile had its own mobile launcher, secure data link for interception, independent tracking and homing capabilities and sophisticated radars

The anti-ballistic missile, took off at 9.40 a.m. from the A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Wheeler Island soon after it received the command to waylay and destroy an incoming target missile in the endo-atmosphere (below 40 km altitude) after the conditions for the latter were electronically simulated without the actual launch of the missile.

A full-scale BMD system in India will incorporate technology from both the PAD and AAD systems. India plans to deploy a two-tiered Ballistic Missile Defence system to protect important cities and vital installations from enemy attack. The first phase seeks to destroy incoming enemy missiles of 2,000 km range, while the second phase envisages killing incoming missiles of more than 2,000 km.

What Makes an Officer Complete?

Officers are not a special kind of people. They are people who got some special qualities, which makes them special and top kind of people. Nobody is an officer by birth, qualities make them so. What SSB wants is a person having some impressions of some qualities, which can be made perfect by training them. What are those qualities? Here we are having a synopsis of those qualities makes an officer special.

Confidence – Confidence is a dose that makes a man ready to face any sort of situation. An officer is a leader and if the leader lacks confidence, then the team will scatter. So, a confident approach makes the task easy and ensures success of the task. Lost confidence can never make the task done and can even lead to loss of things.

Motivations – When you have a bunch of people under you and you have to complete a task, motivation plays an important role. Motivation is a key that unlocks more strength, will power and makes a man inclined and dedicated toward its Aim making him his will to achieve A2im stronger.

Responsibility – An officer is the alternate name of responsibility. Whatever the men do, their officer-in-charge is fully responsible of it. That’s why an officer has to use various techniques, sometimes being rude, sometimes being soft and appreciative and sometimes motivating to let his men to complete the task and going up to responsibility.

Adhere to Rules – Armed forces means rules and discipline. For example, the principal is fully responsible for disciple and maintenance. Similarly, an officer is responsible for maintaining the rules and discipline, firstly by implementing them over himself and then imposes and implements them over his men.

Power to Improvise – A calm mind, enriched with experience can mold any plan as per the situation and improvise as per the requirement. It never happens that your plan works as you want them to. In that case, sometimes you need to observe the situation and circumstances and continue going without affecting the Aim.

Power to command and get commanded – Whenever an officer gets the command, he strikes his boots and makes actions on the move without and delays. Sometimes the commands he got, is out of the will, but his task is to get commands and command his men as per the requirements.

Time is non-retrievable resource – Punctuality, the word that is stamped in the mind of every soldier, means a lot. Delays are sin for a soldier. And when it comes to an officer, he has to be punctual and maintain punctuality over his men. Planning without punctuality and time management is a failure. An officer always has a watch on his wrist to time loss and run as per the timetable. Lost time can never be gained as lost arrow can never be stopped.

Mental stability and peace – The most important and the most required part of an officer’s personality is his mental stability. A famous quote says “A stable mind can crack nut from hand and an unstable mind will crack hand from nut”. Anger, introvert nature, over smartness, etc. are the symptoms of unstable mind making a person unfit for military. Fluctuating moods and behavior can take the commander and his men in danger. Decision taken with stable mind works perfectly and makes the task done.
