Bikaner Camel Corps

The Bikaner Camel Corps was an Indian military unit formed in the early 20th century, consisting of local camel-mounted soldiers from the princely state of Bikaner. It was established to protect desert regions and assist in communication and patrol duties in arid areas. The corps became part of the British Indian Army and later the Indian Army, playing a key role in border security and desert warfare. Known for their mobility and resilience in harsh desert conditions, the corps symbolizes the strategic importance of camels in military operations in desert environments.
