"The Battalion was declared an Indian Reserve Battalion and was centrally sponsored by the Government of India. It was deployed to regions in Gujarat, West Bengal, and Uttar Pradesh. In October 1971, under Commandant Mr G. S. Gill, the unit was sent to Nagaland for the Naga Operation, setting up its headquarters at Maram. Operating under the supervision of the Indian Army, the battalion played a vital role in defeating rebel insurgents."

"The battalion was stationed in Assam, with its headquarters at Dispur, to tackle foreign invasions and extremism. It displayed exemplary character through intense hardships. In June 1988, it was transferred to Tripura, where it served until October 1994. The Tripura Government highly appreciated its operations against terrorists. Notably, in 1991, the battalion successfully protected the Police Armoury and VIPs during the state mutiny."

"Under the orders of the DGP of Madhya Pradesh, Companies A, B, C, and D were sent for Naxal operations in the Bastar region. The headquarters temporarily shifted back to MP, first to Mohini Colony in Shivpuri, and later to Kothi No. 32. Finally, the MP Government allotted 25 hectares of land on the Agra-Bombay highway in Chandrapura for a permanent headquarters."

"On November 3, 1998, at 7 PM in Bastar, four companies, alongside the District Police, successfully repelled a massive assault by 1,500 Naxalites attempting to loot the Tarlaguda Police Station. Responding with aggressive force, they inflicted historic damage on nine Naxalites of the military dalam (squad). For their bravery, they were heavily decorated by both the Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh governments."
