Sikhs are allowed to wear turbans instead of the standard military headgear. 8. The U.S Army rank structure is listed below with the Indian military equivalents. XThe Indian Army structure is slightly different to that of the enlisted US Army. The foot soldiers (jawan or the sepoy) have the following ranks: Lance corporal (lance naik), corporal (naik), sergeant (havildar), senior sergeant (havildar major), and similarly the battalion senior sergeant (battalion havildar major). Their duties are to pass orders down the line, detail men for fatigue duties, to nominate guards, and to distribute and control ammunitions. There is no equivalent in the US for the naib subedar, the subedar or the subedar major. These are non-commissioned officers and they hold posts of a platoon commander (company second in command), along with regular commissioned officers. The Subedar Major of a unit is a very respected, right-hand man of the commanding officer who advises him on the state of the men. 244 Lance Naik Naik Havildar Company Quarter Master Havildar (Private 1st Class) (Corporal) (Sergeant) (Staff Sergeant) Company Havildar Major Regimental Quarter Regimental Havildar Master Havildar Major Naib Subedar / Naib Subedar / Risaldar Subedar Major / Risaldar Risaldar Major 245 Lieutenant Captain Major Lieutenant Colonel Colonel Brigadier These are the India Army ranks with insignias and the US Army equivalents where applicable: © Pavel Mococh. 9.

  • After a Long Illness Captain Umrao Singh VC, Royal Indian Artillery Died on the 21 November 2005 at the Army Research and Referr
    After a long illness Captain Umrao Singh VC, Royal Indian Artillery died on the 21 November 2005 at the Army Research and Referral Hospital, New Delhi, after a prolonged illness. He was cremated at his home village of Palra, Haryana State, on 22 November 2005. As a havildar (Sergeant) Umrao Singh was the only non-commissioned officer of either the Royal Artillery or the Indian Artillery to be awarded the Victoria Cross in the Second World War. Umrao Singh won his award for valour in what all gunners regard as their near-sacred duty - defence of their guns. By the end of 1944, General Sir William Slim's 14th Army was poised for a right-flank offensive against Lieutenant-General Sakurai Seizo's 28th Japanese Army in the coastal strip between the Irrawaddy and the Bay of Bengal. General Sir Philip Christison's XV Corps of four divisions was given the job. The offensive was launched on 12th December 1944 but fierce resistance was met by the 81st West African Division advancing down the Kaladan valley, every move forward being challenged by Japanese counter-attack. The 33 Mountain Battery, Indian Artillery, in which Havildar Umrao Singh was a field gun detachment commander, was subjected to a sustained bombardment from Japanese guns. Singh's VC citation sums up perfectly his heroic action in defending his guns against overwhelming odds. [ London Gazette, 31 May 1945 ], Kaladan Valley, Burma, 15 - 16 December 1944, Havildar Umrao Singh, Royal Indian Artillery, Indian Army “In the Kaladan Valley, Burma on 15 / 16 December 1944, Havildar Umrao Singh was in charge of one gun in an advanced section of his battery when it was subjected to heavy fire from 75 mm guns and mortars for one and a half hours prior to being attacked by two Companies of Japanese.

  • The Saga of Grit and Cold Courage
    THE SAGA OF GRIT AND COLD COURAGE TRIBUTE TO THE FIGHTERS OF 35 INFANTRY BRIGADE IN 1965 WAR: FIRST HAND ACCOUNT Maj Gen Yashwant Deva, AVSM (Retd) DEDICATED TO The forgotten martyrs of 35 Infantry Brigade, who sacrificed their sarvasva (the entire) — existence, even remembrance At Lord’s Beckoning Slain, thou shall achieve heaven; victorious, thou shall enjoy the earth. Therefore rouse O son of Kunti, resolve to fight. Bhaagvad Gita, Shalok 37, Discourse II i FOREWORD I recall Gen Deva, the author of this book when he was attending the Staff College. Posting as a Brigade Major after the course was indicative of the fact that the officer had done very well at the course. It was more so for a Signals officer, as normally officers from combat arms and not combat support arms got posted to this most important staff appointment for a Major. Nowadays with a Deputy Commander in the rank of Colonel and the Brigade Major upgraded to Lt Col, this has changed. After reading this book, I feel that the author has more than justified his selection as Brigade Major. He was blooded in battle like an infantry soldier and showed valour. He shouldered much responsibility in the operation of his Brigade in all the confusion connected with 1 Corps offensive in the Samba sector of Jammu and Kashmir. Tasks for his Brigade were changing at the drop of the hat and so was its grouping with formations. Yet the Brigade’s performance was creditable. 93 officers and soldiers of the Brigade got martyred in this war.

  • Capture of Tiger Hill (Op Vijay-1999)
    No. 07/2019 AN INDIAN ARMY PUBLICATION July 2019 CAPTURE OF TIGER HILL (OP VIJAY-1999) GRENADIERS was tasked to capture Tiger Hill, one of the prominent features in the Drass Sub-Sector. The initial attack was led by Captain Sachin Nimbalkar and Lieutenant 18Balwan Singh, with a Section of ‘D’ Company and the Ghatak Platoon in a multi directional attack. The team stealthily approached Tiger Hill and took the enemy by surprise. Lieutenant Balwan Singh along with Havildar Madan Lal gallantly led the Section and pressed forward against heavy odds. The Section approached and engaged the Pakistani bunkers on Tiger Hill Top. During this fight Havildar Madan Lal got severe injuries but still continued to press forward. The individual showed extraordinary courage and exemplary junior leadership and was awarded Vir Chakra (Posthumously). Lieutenant Balwan Singh in another outflanking manoeuvre took the enemy by sheer surprise as his team used cliff assault mountaineering skills to reach the top. The officer single handedly killed many Pakistani soldiers, and led his team to the top. For his leadership and unmatched gallantry, Lieutenant Balwan Singh was awarded the Maha Vir Chakra. Another prominent name associated with Tiger hill is Grenadier Yogendra Singh Yadav, who was part of the leading team of Ghatak Platoon tasked to capture Tiger Hill Top. The soldier utterly disregarded his own injury that he sustained due to enemy fire and continued to charge towards the enemy bunkers all the while firing from his rifle. He killed enemy soldiers in close combat and silenced the automatic fire. He sustained multiple bullet injuries and was in critical condition, but refused to be evacuated and continued to attack.
