The Brahmastra Corps of the Indian Army’s Eastern Command is making rapid strides in developing its operational capabilities with intensive sniper training in high-altitude conditions. That special training forms part of capability development impetus, with a focus on new technologies, underlined by the Army by highlighting the ‘Year of Technology Absorption’.

Snipers of the Brahmastra Corps are being seriously and earnestly trained in camouflage techniques, survival skills, surveillance, and precision shooting during these sessions. These will come in handy in the ruthless landscapes and extreme weather that come with high-altitude warfighting. All this whets their skills to become the deadliest enemy against opponents-a gesture of assurance toward the Corps as ‘Mountain Warriors’.

The aim of this initiative is to enhance the individual skills of the snipers, hence overall enhancing the combat readiness of Brahmastra Corps. Indeed, the Corps stands taller, proud of the commitment it makes to be able to serve-a true reflection of the ethos of the Indian Army. The continuous training in such grueling programs ensures that the Brahmastra Corps snipers are amongst the better-set ones to accomplish missions that entail the highest levels of stealth and precision. This commitment goes on to play a major role in keeping the nation’s borders secure and intact.
