Battle of Biar Bet
In April 1965, fighting broke out over the then disputed Rann of Kutch area. The 24th Cavalry got its first opportunity to prove itself in the battlefield and put its professional training and efficiency to test. On April 17, it received an order to deploy at Chhor (which was 800 miles towards Pakistan's southern border) and to conduct the Army's first ever tactical manoeuvre; a tank assault. On 26 April 1965, A squadron of 24th Cavalry along with forces from the 15 Punjab Regiment and 15 FFR launched an attack on territory occupied by Indian forces. It was the first attack of its kind since Independence, an attack on a heavily defended enemy position called "Biar Bet". The tanks captured the area after a grim battle during which its officers and soldiers showed unusual bravery. After a ceasefire brokered by the United Kingdom, Biar Bet was returned as part of an agreement between Pakistan and India.
