Claim: Women in Indian Armed Forces were assigned to various branches of the army including a specialist corps in the Indian Army which primarily provides medical services to all Army personnel.
Evidence: The three branches of the Indian Armed Forces have separate special forces units, viz. the Para SF of the Indian Army, the MARCOS of the Indian Navy and the Garud Commando Force of the Indian Air Force. All wings of the Indian Armed Forces allow women in combat roles (junior ranks) and combat supervisory roles (officers), except Indian Army (support roles only) and Special Forces of India (trainer role only) (c. 2017).
