In a First, CRPF Inducts Women Elite Commandos

Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) for the first time inducted 34 women commandos in its elite Commando Battalion.

The women commandoes have been inducted in its anti-Naxal Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) unit. They will undergo training for three months and will be sent to Naxal hit areas. The strenuous training will reinforce their physical capabilities and tactical acumen. Training also includes use of special weapons, tactical planning, fieldcraft, explosives, jungle survival skills, and others.
The induction was done during the 35th Raising Day of the force’s 88th Mahila Battalion, the first all-women battalion in the world.

“History in making: The first batch of CRPF Women Warriors joins the elite CoBRA. The batch will undergo strenuous @CoBRASECTORHQ pre-induction training and will then be posted in LWE areas alongside their male counterparts.
Congratulations to the new entrants. #Narishakti” CRPF official Twitter stated.
