Where would they stay? Would they stay in houses, police stations, purpose built facilities etc.?
Would the 60 man unit put out 7-8 cordons or ambushes every night or only on some nights? How many guys did you normally have on each ambush?
How far would each little ambush group normally walk to get to their set-up site? What was the max distance they could set something from where they slept and ate?
In the little area or valley, who was the king so to speak, the Indian Army commander, the local police commander or did the the two work together?
Where did the intel used by the 60 man unit mostly come from, the unit itself, the police or a source outside the small area or valley?
Could outside units swoop in to do things without the approval or knowledge of the king of the little area or valley?
If you have time, I'd be obliged to you if you could answer some of these questions. They are probably blindingly obvious to most but not to me.
