With the intention of reinforcing the lines of the Ladakh scouts to defend the Indian border with china, Governor General JJ Singh’s proposition to mobilise the battalion of Arunachal Scouts was proposed in 2008. This proposal was advanced by the governor to the Prime Minister at the time, Manmohan Singh. After being addressed by the Indian Union Cabinet in 2009, in 2010 the first battalion of Arunachal Scouts were raised. This initial division was posted in Riyang, which acted as the headquarters for this region of India and was 30 kilometres away from the headquarters of the East Siang region.
