It seems that several regiments got cut off in the copy and paste job.

There are 544 infantry and 24 guards battalions. Some regiments are regional or based on particular ethnic groups, whereas others are 'All-India' recruitment.

The Indian SAS is organised along the lines of other Commonwealth SAS units, being highly selective and based around four squadrons. Total strength is around 600 men as of 1960.

The purpose of elite special forces is to be a small, highly trained elite; the size of the Indian SAS will probably increase to ~2400 by the 1970s.

The correct nomenclature for Commonwealth armies is "Indian/Australian/British/Canadian/South African Army" with no royal prefix, given the heritage of the English Army as a standing body, which in Dark Earth began during the 30 Years War.

I named the larger Commonwealth states, but the same principle applies to the smaller ones as well.
