Indian SF be given a central command

Indian special forces are among some of the best in the world in terms of their training and capabilities. We have the Ghatak commandos, Para SF , Cobra commandos, Marcos, Special frontier force , Garud commandos, NSG commandos and many more elite units.

But these highly trained soldiers aren't able to realise their full potential due to lack of coordination in the armed forces. Granted funds are not being properly utilised due to circles of corruption.

• Let's take for example the US Navy SEALS who are probably the best special force in the world. They report directly to the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). 
• Another example is that the MARCOS commandos are demanding V-21 Osprey for a long time. Our MARCOS wield Israeli made IMI Tavor and IMI Galil guns. These are simply incomparable to the M4s of the US Marines or the M24s.

The best way to make sure that our SF are combat ready is to form a direct Command they report to. This will allow proper funds to be allocated and utilised. This will be particularly useful for procurement of weapons, troop deployment , training for troops and reducing delays.
