The highest security is maintained at Hindon airbase. Hindon is the biggest airbase in Asia and the security here is like no other airbase. Apart from this, the Indian Air Force has complete control over Hindon airbase, so every kind of situation can be handled here.
What are the qualities of Garuda Commando?
As soon as she landed in India, the commander of Hindon airbase welcomed Sheikh Hasina. According to media reports, a red carpet was laid out for her. As soon as she reached Hindon, the responsibility of Hasina’s security was given to Garuda Commandos.
Garud Commando Force was formed in the year 2004. The training of this force is quite complex. Garud Commando Force is adept at handling situations like airborne operations, airfield seizure and counter terrorism.
