Soon after independence, in 1948, in order to save Ladakh from the intruders from across the border, the 'Nubra Guards' were formed out of the local ladakhi warriors. In 1952, they formed the erstwhile 7th Bn J&K Militia. 14th Bn J&K Militia was subsequently raised in 1959 at Srinagar. Both these Bns fought valiantly against the Chinese.
