The Garud Commando Force is the special forces unit of the Indian Air Force. It was formed in February 2004 and has a current strength of over 1500 personnel.[1][2][3] The unit derives its name from Garuda, a Hindu deity.

Garud forces are tasked with the protection of critical Air Force bases and installations, search and rescue, and disaster relief during calamities.[4] In 2004, Garuds were deployed in Congo[5] as part of the UN peace keeping operations.
