An Assistant Commandant of CISF

Assistant Commandant as a rank was envisaged by General J. N. Chaudhuri, who was part of the committee studying the need for a dedicated Border Guarding force raised on military lines to guard the perilous India-Pakistan border given the UN conventions deriding and preventing military formations or build-up on the borders between the two un-friendly neighbors. General J. N. Chaudhuri recommended to raise the officer cadre of the Border Security Force on lines of the military hierarchy and hence Assistant Commandant, which otherwise is an appointment in most countries, came up as the junior most rank in the hierarchy of Gazetted officers of the Border Security Force.

For its exclusivity and unique hierarchical association with Indian Paramilitary Forces of India, Assistant Commandant, for comparative understanding, is equivalent to the ranks of assistant commissioner of police (ACP), deputy superintendent of police (DSP), and Captain in the Indian Army. This rank is the highest entry level rank in the Central Armed Police Forces of India.

Assistant commandants in Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) are selected through a competitive exam conducted by Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) annually.

Assistant Commandants are mandated to command companies and Direct Action Teams (DATs) in various CAPFs and law enforcement agencies, They are also sent on deputations to various organizations such as RAW, NSG, SPG, NIA, IB, CBI, NDRF, NCB, State Armed Police Force (DRG, Jharkhand Jaguars, Bihar military police, IRB, UP/MP STFs, etc.). Their role and performance therefore assumes an enormous significance because of the multitudinous role they play at various leadership and staff roles.
