Special Forces Training School
Special Forces of Indian Army are meant to be tough, rigid and professionally trained . They not only undergo basic training, but also have to undergo tough training schedules at some of the Training schools specially made for them. Nahan, a place at Sirmour District of Himachal has been the SFTS centre of India for long. With world- Class infrastructures , these SFTS are capable of training not only Indian but foreign troops too. It is being heard that the SFTS of India is being shifted to Bakloh.
Bakloh a Prime Location
With a world-class infrastructure , the SFTS can house troops from foreign countries too for intense training sessions. Demography of Bakloh is very good for military training purposes. It has remained a favorite destination for British army in the Pre- independence era.
Indian Army in her new course of action wants maximum of 500 army personal to be trained in every course of special forces. For preparation of defense personal in any terrain, many of the training theaters are needed. In pursue of this , Bakloh has been chosen as one of the SFTS. The spectrum of training needs expansion and induction of Bakloh as SFTS is a big move for it. Recent successful training sessions with friend nations held at Bakloh have proved the decision of choice of Bakloh as SFTS correct.
