MARCOS celebrates its Silver Jubilee today... 25 Glorious Years of its raising...
The first batch of The Indian Marine Special Force (IMSF) passed out on 14 Feb 1987. It was later renamed as the Marine Commando Force (MCF) in 1991. The force has acquired a reputation for its tough professionalism over two decades it has been in existence. The MARCOS is one of the most decorated forces of the Indian Navy. The valiant efforts of its cadres during Operation Pawan (Sri Lanka), Operation Cactus (Maldives), Operation Muffet (Somalia), Operation Rakshak (J&K), Operation Black Tornado (26/11 attacks) and ongoing anti piracy operations in Gulf of Aden have earned the force one Maha Vir Chakra, two Vir Chakras, eleven Shaurya Chakras, forty one Nau Sena Medals (Gallantry), two Nau Sena Medals bar and one Sena Medal.
