Establishment 22: elite Indian military unit with Tibetan soldiers
One of the less-known divisions of India's military is the elite division Establishment 22. The unit is stationed along India's northern frontier (near China's border) in the country's most treacherous and extreme mountain terrain, and is comprised primarily of ethnic Tibetans. A source in Dharamshala says they're now known as "Special Frontier Force," and that India's government tends to keep them cloaked in some degree of stealth.
