The unit has been engaged in service of “Operation Meghdoot” for over three decades. It routinely involves landing at the highest helipads in the world, in Siachen Glacier and flying the helicopters to the edge of its flight envelope over a very treacherous terrain marked by uncertain weather. For its courageous deeds, the Unit has earned 62 Gallantry/Presidential.
The unit has been awarded the President’s Standard in 1996, Unit Citation by the Chief of Air Staff in 2004 and a place in the Limca Book of Records for the highest helicopter landing at a density altitude of 25,140 feet. Besides this, the Unit is famous worldwide for its daring rescues of mountaineers and trekkers.
