The 25 Squadron has many laurels to its credit apart from being the life line to the armed forces deployed in the Himalayan region, which are totally dependent on air maintenance during the winter months when the road communications shut down.
Over the past year, the squadron has excelled in overall performance in its dedicated duty to the nation and has one again proven to be the backbone of air lift support.
The trophy takes into account operational, maintenance of aircraft and administrative capability and performance of the unit in proving itself to be an effective fighting arm.
