Rashtriya Rifles

The Rashtriya Rifles (RR; transl. National rifles) is a counter-terrorism force in India, formed in 1990, to deal with internal security in the Jammu and Kashmir region. They maintain public order by drawing powers from the Armed Forces (Jammu and Kashmir) Special Powers Act, 1990 (AFSPA). Its personnel are provided by the Indian Army on deputation.

The force operates under the Ministry of Defence. The Indian Army describes RR as its "specialist elite force to combat insurgency." The RR is headquartered at Northern Command in Udhampur and commanded by an Additional Director General of Rashtriya Rifles (ADG RR).
