However, it was the last to use the epithet of cavalry, all subsequent regiments were named armoured regiments instead. It was raised in Babina on 31 March 1966 by Lt Col Trevor Lancelot Perry, a former Indian Air Force pilot, with a class composition of Sikhs, Jats and Rajputs.[1] During the 1971 Indo-Pakistan War, the regiment, then under Lt Col Bipin Chandra Joshi and equipped with T-54 tanks, was part of 1 Independent Armoured Brigade supporting XI Corps in the Western theatre but did not see any action.[1][2] It was located in the Chhamb corridor during Operation Trident and also participated in Operation Rakshak where the regiment was in a peace-keeping role.[1] The President of India presented a guidon to the regiment in Jammu on 7 April 1991. The regiment has also produced a Chief of the Army Staff, Gen Bipin Chandra Joshi, PVSM, AVSM, ADC.[1] The regimental cap badge consists of a mailed right handed fist, placed on the crossing of a pair of sabres, with a scroll along the bottom which has the regimental motto in Devanagari script. The shoulder title consists of "64C" in brass.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite book|last=Nath|first=Ashok|title=Izzat: historical records and iconography of Indian cavalry regiments, 1750-2007|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sGQeQwAACAAJ|year=2009|publisher=Centre for Armed Forces Historical Research, United Service Institution of India|isbn=978-81-902097-7-9|pages=640–641}} {{Indian Army Armoured Corps |state=expanded}}{{Use dmy dates|date=June 2017}}{{India-mil-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://orbat.com/site/history/historical/india/XICorps1971.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080113065457/http://orbat.com/site/history/historical/india/XICorps1971.html |dead-url=bot: unknown |archive-date=13 January 2008 |title=Indian XI Corps: Orbat December 1971 |author=Sandhu, Dave |author2=Rikhye, Ravi |last-author-amp=yes |work=Orbat.com |accessdate=14 April 2014 |df= }} 1 : Armoured and cavalry regiments of the Indian Army from 1947 |
