Regimental Headquarters: Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh.

Regimental Motto: Kartavyam Anvatma (Duty Before Death).

Battle Cry: Jawala Mata Ki Jai (Victory to Goddess Jawala).

The British called all who hailed from Rajput hill states as Dogras. First Dogra Regiment was added to the Bengal Army on April 20, 1887, at Sialkot. After partition, Dogra companies were absorbed from Baluch and Punjab Regiment and the Frontier Force to raise Dogra battalions to its present day strength.

The British Indian Army successfully fought the Second World War largely because of Indian soldiers like the Dogras who contributed in considerable measure to their victory.

The Dogras climbed new heights with General NC Vij— the first officer to be commissioned directly in the regiment— who took over as the Chief of the Army Staff.

The Third Battalion of the Regiment has the distinction of being the first Indian Army unit to participate in a multi-national assignment during the 1953 Korean crisis and guarded Chinese and North Korean Prisoners of War.

The raw courage of men from 13 Dogra Battalion who fought the Chinese in the Kameng sector in 1962 is heroic.
