Army personnel are posted in TA units according to a carefully planned manning policy so that TA units can in times of war or hostilities be able to provide effective support to the Army.
The Tenure of Officer of Regular Army personnel in TA units is regarded as normal regimental duty and is equated with similar appointments in the Army for the -purpose of promotion, career planning etc. Even the directly recruited personnel of TA are given training at the ARMY REGIMENTAL Centre before they are posted and the training given is in three military infantry units.
Thus the functions and duties of TA are integrally connected with the operational plans and requirements of the ARMED FORCES and the members of TA are "Integral to the Armed Forces".
There can be no doubt that without the efficient and disciplined optional role of TA the military operations in border & insurgency effected\militancy infested areas during peace as also in times of war will be seriously hampered and a highly disciplined and efficient TA is absolutely essential for supporting the operational plans and meeting operational requirements of the Armed Forces.
Therefore, it can be said that the members of TA answer the description of "members of the Armed Forces" within the meaning of Article 33 and consequently the application of Section 21 of the Army Act to the members of TA can be said to be protected by that Article and the fundamental rights of the members of TA can be said to be validly restricted by Section 21 read with rules 19 to 21 of the Army Rules."
There is no denying the fact that the TERRITORIAL ARMY India are playing an indispensable role in maintaining the national security. its personnel are performing highly arduous and life threatening duties while maintaining vigil on the Borders and carrying out operations against militants, extremists and terrorists for Internal Security all over the Country round the year.
The troops of the TERRITORIAL ARMY are deployed in inhospitable terrains under adverse climatic conditions in inaccessible areas of J&K at a height of 20,000 feet and in -30 C temperature, the Northeast Regions, deserts of Rajas than as well as the extremists affected volatile States.
The operational responsibilities of the TERRITORIAL ARMY are similar in nature to those of the Army. Soldiers of TERRITORIAL ARMY and the Army fight shoulder to shoulder the enemy. The closing ceremony for 13 Territorial Army Officers was held on completion of their 13 weeks of post commission training at the Indian Military Academy (IMA) here yesterday.
Territorial Army officers after two to four years tenure at their respective Territorial Army battalions undergo training at the IMA. On the occasion, the chief guest Major-Gen GS Bal SM, VSM Deputy Commandant and Chief Instructor, IMA, gave away the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose medal for the 1st in order of merit to Lt SK Bansal. This is the XI course, which underwent the postcommissioned training at the IMA.
The ceremony was also attended by the proud parents and relatives of the Territorial Army officers.
