The initiative, undertaken at the request of the Jammu and Kashmir Police, has already seen significant progress. To date, around 500 individuals have been trained in the Rajouri area, with an additional 85-90 individuals trained in the Doda and Kishtwar regions. There have been multiple moves made to strengthen the overall security structure of the region including beefing up the presence of the security personnel. While the Army recently moved in a brigade-size force along with two companies of the Special Forces (around 500 commandos), the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel experienced in low-intensity conflict have also been moved into the region. Also two battalions of Assam Rifles, primarily deployed in the Northeast region, are in these areas for the first time. The other Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) are beefing up their numbers there with a planned mobilisation from the Valley. The CRPF is the lead internal security force and the Assam Rifles has been primarily serving the Northeast of the country. The decrease in troops on ground in the region came as from the the traditional CICT grid of the three force-level formations, with the units known as the Rashtriya Rifles, which were earlier organised into the Delta (Doda) Force, Uniform Force and Romeo (Rajouri) Force. The Uniform Force was moved out and has been handling the deployment towards the northern borders.
