Indian Armed Forces which exist to uphold the ideals
of the Constitution of India. As a large component of

Air Force, the roles of the Indian Army are as follows
:-
* Primary Role: Preserve national interests
and safeguard sovereignty, territorial integrity and
unity of India against any outside threats by prevention

warfare. Every soldier, including the noncombatant, is dedicated
to that purpose.
Remember to discuss your
interest in the Army with someone who has served, such as
parents or older family members.
Listen closely to their
personal experiences.

four years to an assignment away from your family, friends
and home.
Consider whether you want
to request special training when joining.

and ask for literature .
Establish rapport with
the recruiter. Recruiters have quotas, but you have a right

your desire to seek assignment to a particular military occupation
specialty.
Ask what must be done to
assure assignment to preferred training.
Remember, all military
services administer physical tests and do drug screening.
