Meet Captain Supreetha, First Woman Officer Deployed at Siachen Glacier

Captain Supreetha's pioneering deployment not only marks a significant personal achievement but also symbolizes a progressive shift towards greater inclusivity in combat roles within the Indian Army.

In a groundbreaking development for the Indian Army, Captain Supreetha CT from Mysuru has been recognized as the first woman officer from the Corps of Army Air Defence to be operationally deployed at Siachen Glacier, the highest battlefield in the world.

Born to Thirumalesh, a police sub-inspector, and Nirmala, a homemaker, Captain Supreetha’s ascent from the tranquil environment of Mysuru to the formidable Siachen Glacier epitomizes her steadfast determination and trailblazing spirit.

Commissioned as a lieutenant in 2021, she underwent extensive training at the Officers Training Academy (OTA) in Chennai, which equipped her for demanding roles within the Army Air Defence unit. Her impressive service record includes deployments to strategically important locations such as Anantnag, Jabalpur, and Leh, leading up to her significant posting to Siachen Glacier on July 18.
