Draft:150 Field Regiment

History

150 Field Regiment was raised on 01 July 1979 by Lieutenant Colonel (now Brigadier) LM Segat (Retd), with a mixed class composition and initial troops pooled in from 54, 166 & 196 Field Regiments. The unit completed its raising process on receiving its Colours on 22 September 1979, now celebrated as 'Unit Raising Day'. The unit has held a wide variety of field guns. During the heights of militancy in J &K, the unit proved its mettle by single-handedly inflicting major setbacks to the militant outfit. The Unit has performed exceptionally well in OP TRIDENT, OP VIJAY, OP PARAKRAM, & OP FALCON. The unit has distinguished itself in Eight Operations since its raising and has to its credit, a total of Twenty Five awards including two Shaurya Chakras. The Regiment, with its tag as 'FIGHTING FIRST FIFTY', in a relatively short span of time has done exceedingly well in all spheres, be it Operations, Sports or Professional. It is an unbroken tradition that the unit seems to have acquired that every outgoing Subedar Major goes with an Honorary Rank. The Regt participated in EX BHART SHAKTI: Visit by PM Narendra Modi & also in integrated firing for President Smt Droupadi Murmu. 29th February 2024 was earmarked as a red letter day in the history of the Regt as it received its first ever GOC-IN-C-UNIT CITATION under the able leadership of Colonel Satyam Singh. The war cry of the Regiment is "Durge Mata Ki Jai". 150 Field Regiment (talk) 05:56, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
