While we all  go awe about the three fighter Forces, Army, Navy and air Force, there is this force which takes the Danger one step ahead. They enter a field feared by the bravest of the soul. MARCOS, the deadliest special forces were raised as the Indian Marine special  Forces in 1985, which later got  named as Indian Marine Commando Force(MARCOS).

MARCOS, INDIA
Marcos is famous amongst People in the form of Pizza Zone; But very few people are aware that This Is the special force unit of Indian Navy created for conducting special operation such as Amphibious Warfare, close quarter combat counter-terrorism etc. These are specially trained, equipped and organised for the conduct of special operations in a maritime environment.

MARCO is regarded as one of the toughest WAR courses in the world. Getting selected in the MARCO-Training  is itself a difficult task. MARCOS are the handful of the special forces from around the world that are capable of being Para dropped into the sea with the combat load. Marine commandos are the tough nut to crack, These have the capability to top the US Navy SEAL course with ease which is considered as the toughest unbeatable force in the world because they are primarily trained along the pattern of US Navy SEAL.The best part about their training  regime is the high motivation and emotional balance which they build .

During the Kargil War, the MARCOS were tasked to undertake covert operations behind the enemy lines. During the Mumbai attacks in 2008, they stormed the Oberoi Trident and Taj Hotels where the terrorists were killed.

MARCOS are the only special force after US Navy SEALs that can fight in water bodies with full fledged weaponry.
