==CIJWS==
{{main|Counter-Insurgency and Jungle Warfare School (India)}}
The original plans to set up a counter-insurgency unit to train soldiers came about following the government response to the [[March 1966 Mizo National Front uprising|Mizo militancy]] in the 1960s. [[Sam Manekshaw|Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw]], then the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-IN-C) of the Indian Army's Eastern Command, was the first proponent for the institute.<ref name=rediff-back>{{cite news|url=http://www.rediff.com/news/2000/feb/21varsha.htm|title=Back to school...|publisher=Rediff.com|date=2000-02-21|access-date=2011-11-16}}</ref>

CIJWS was established in 1967 as the ''Jungle Training School''. It was initially located in Mynkre, near [[Jowal]] in [[Jaintia Hills]] district of [[Meghalaya]]. In 1968, the designation was changed to ''Eastern Command Counter Insurgency Training School''. On 1 May 1970, it was upgraded to a Category A Training Establishment of the Indian Army, given its current name and relocated to Vairengte. Brigadier Mathew Thomas was appointed the school's first Commandant.

The crisis in neighbouring [[East Pakistan]] and the resulting [[Bangladesh Liberation War|liberation struggle for Bangladesh]] prompted a temporary refocus as the [[Mukti Bahini]] guerrillas were trained at the institute. [[Operation Jackpot]] undertaken by the Mukti Bahini rebels was an instance of the school's training success. Since the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971]], CIJWS has focused to its primary role of counter-insurgency training.

CIJWS has hosted visiting military units for training from the [[United States]], [[Singapore]], [[Nepal]], [[Bhutan]], [[Russia]], [[United Kingdom]], [[Israel]], [[France]], [[Bangladesh]] and many other nations.

The success of this school prompted the establishment of another counter-insurgency training centre, the ''Kaziranga Special Jungle Warfare Training School'' in [[Assam]].<ref name=at-guerrillas/>
