History

In 1955, the Indian military established a diving school at Cochin with assistance from the British Special Boat Service and began teaching combat diver skills such as explosive disposal, clearance, and salavage diving. The divers failed to achieve desired outcomes during the Indo-Pak war of 1971 because they were not adequately trained for sabotage missions. The combat divers had also taught basic underwater demolitation training to insurgents from Bengal, who were sent on some missions during the war but could not cause substantial damage to Pakistani military installations. Subsequently, during the war, the Indian Navy assisted the Indian Army in landing operations against the Pakistani military base in Cox's bazar. After the war ended, army units were often drafted into amphibious exercises. In 1983, the Indian Army formation called 340th Army Independent Brigade was converted into an amphibious assault unit and a series of joint airborne-amphibious exercises were conducted in later years.

In April 1986, the Indian Navy started planning for the creation of a special forces unit that would be capable of undertaking missions in a maritime environment, conducting raids and reconnaissance, and counter terrorism operations. Subsequently, three volunteer officers from the diving unit, which was created in 1955, were selected and underwent training courses with the US Navy seals at Coronado They later went on training exchanges with the British Special Forces, including the Special Boat Service. In February 1987, the Indian Marine Special Force (IMSF) officially came into existence and the three officers were its first members. The IMSF was renamed as 'Marine Commando Force' in 1991.
