New Delhi: 3rd (Naga Hills) Battalion of Assam Rifles and Indian Coast Guard on Wednesday signed an Affiliation Charter in an effort to enhance inter Armed Forces Cooperation and utilise each other’s assets for training and sports.
The Director Generals of the two organisations inked the charter at an impressive ceremony held at Laitkor, Shillong.
The objective of the affiliation is to promote Bilateral Cooperation between the Assam Rifles and the Indian Coast Guard in the field of exchange of information/personnel, build-up camaraderie for training, sports/adventure and sustainable development. This affiliation will facilitate the “Sentinels of the North East” to interact with the “Sentinels of the Seas” on professional and social platforms and share rich experiences and best practices.
The two Armed Forces will be greatly benefited by motivating one another towards common goals. Assam Rifles personnel will be able to understand the peculiarities of a Maritime Service (Indian Coast Guard) and their role in guarding and intercepting the anti-National forces /Non State Actors detrimental to the Maritime/ Coastal security. Similarly, the personnel of ICG will be able to see and understand the operational ethos of the Assam Rifles working along the Indo-Myanmar border, a press statement from the Indian Coast Guard and the Army said.
