ASSAM RIFLES
The Assam Rifles raised as Cachar Levy in 1835 is the oldest Central Para Military Force in India. The Force was raised mainly to guard the alluvial plains of Assam from the wild and unruly tribes inhabiting the surrounding hill tracts. They also helped in opening up these remote areas and all development activities earning many accolades from the administration. Their long association with the region reflects in the force being fondly called ‘The Sentinels of the North-East’ and ‘Friends of the Hill People’. As on today, the Force has 46 battalions and has a dual role of maintaining internal security in the North-Eastern region and guarding the Indo-Myanmar Border. Variously designated and reorganised from time to time, as the Assam Frontier Police (1883), the Assam Military Police (1891) and Eastern Bengal and Assam Military Police (1913), it came to be known by its present name of the Assam Rifles, in 1917 in recognition of its contribution to the war effort during World War I. It is headquartered in Shillong. Since 1835 the emblem of this force has undergone seven changes. The current one which came into being in 2001 has two crossing ‘kukris’ crested with Ashoka Lion pillar. Below is the name of the of the force ‘Assam Rifles’ on a white ribbon in English.
