Warrior's creed : our doctrines

The nation's lead CI force, the CRPF are deployed across the country performing syrind duties with 90% of us continuously deployed in high intensity violence theatres. Consequently, we are required to maintain a high level of readiness, regardless of the time, the terrain or the weather. 01/CT Operations. have over the years become far more complex and challenging necessitating the need for a comprehensive study framework coherent enough to provide guidance and flexible enough to be adapted to dynamic scenarios.

This work has been inspired by the vision of Dr A P Maheshwari, Director General, who desired the collation of CRPF's operational philosophy and putting it in a cogent form so as to provide the future leaders with guiding principles. Accordingly, CRPF Academy took the task in tandem with Operations Directorate to record and codify our doctrines.

For carrying out this exercise, available related literature was reviewed and intensive feedback taken from field formations. Based on this, we have culled out this document which lays down our set of beliefs ingrained in our minds while discharging our duties.

These doctrines are not meant to be sacrosanct or timeless. They will continue to evolve with changing times and challenges. They will not act as iron tight procedures or diktat but as a guide to help commanders to think within the parameters of our charter of duties and execute operational tasks in the best possible manner.
