The “Charter of Affiliation” was signed by Major General PS Behl and Group Captain Varun Slaria, Commanding Officer of 106 Air Force Squardon.

The affiliation of the Assam Regiment with the Su-30 Squadron of Eastern Air Command of the Indian Air Force would ‘assist’ them in “development of mutual understanding of joint ethos, capability, limitations and core competencies of other service through common understanding of military tactical doctrines and concepts in the contemporary conflict environment”.

Notably, the Assam Regiment was raised on June 15, 1941 and stood its ground to turn defeat into victory, winning six battle honours in the Second World War.

The contribution of The Regiment in Burma Campaign during World War II and later in 1971 Indo-Pak war in changing the course of the battle is well documented in history.
