1. The war of 1967: When the brave Indian soldiers defeated China and defended Sikkim
Nathu La Incident: Since border tactics was a common thing that the Chinese Army used to instigate India, the Indian Army decided to lay down wire to fence the border. As soon as the fencing work commenced, the Chinese Commissioner came to the Indian side and asked them to stop the work. There was a heated argument and the Commissioner left. And just after a few minutes, Chinese troops indulged in heavy gun fire. Contemplating China’s aggression, Indian side opened fire too. The effective firing resulted in the damage of Chinese bunkers and the death toll was over 400, resulting in China’s defeat.
Cho La Incident: China couldn’t accept their defeat at Nathu La incident, and they planned an unprecedented attack again at Cho La pass. China lost its 40 elite commandos.
The end of the battle witnessed China leaving Sikkim once and for all. Two brave officers – Capt. Dagar and Major Harbhajan Singh died a valiant death.

Meanwhile, Pakistan blew India’s second tank. Arun Khetrapal single-handedly destroyed 4 tanks of Pakistan. In return, Pakistan wrecked the other two tanks, one of which was Arun Khetrapal’s. He didn’t accept defeat and continued to fight even in his flaming tank.
The commander of his troop ordered to abandon his tank, but Khetrapal replied: “No Sir. I’m not going to abandon my tank. My gun is working and I’ll get these bastards.”
And because of this gallant soldier, Pakistan couldn’t enter the Indian soil.

Their are some Brigades who are independent of Divisions and work under the Core directly(5 Armoured Brigades, 15 Artillery Brigades, 7 Infantry Brigades, 1 Parachute Brigade,3 Air Defence Brigades, 2 Air Defence Groups and 4 Engineer Brigades) or in some cases under the DGMO(like 50th Independent Parachute Brigade) Further option for the Soldiers are- Everyone does not get this opportunities- Commando training(In army they are known as Ghatak Platoon every Infantry regiment have one) Para Commandos National Security Guard(If you are lucky and get Deputation their) MI(Working in Military intelligence is also an good option)
Should deterrence fail, The Army provides the ability to be dominant on land in war and military operations other than war. The Army's goal will be to achieve sustained land dominance, whether in closing with and destroying an enemy.
The Army must possess the capability to defeat enemy land forces and to seize, occupy, and defend land areas. Additionally, we must be capable of conducting air and missile defense, space and space control operations, and joint amphibious and airborne operations. These capabilities require the support of special operations forces, the operation of land lines of communication, and civil programs prescribed by law. or keeping the peace.
Able to do what ever it aims at is what army should be like....
