The Domination Squad in Sri Lanka

Militants gave a searing welcome to the relief party and pinned it to the ground. What kind of training had this battalion done before being inducted into the battlefield in Sri Lanka? What attention did its previous brigade and divisional commanders give to training and attuning it before dispatching it to Sri Lanka? Surely, it was forced to keep doing its station duties, providing working parties for golf courses, clubs, sports events, and other peacetime activities senseless.
