About 3 Grenadiers
3 GRENADIERS is an infantry battalion of the Indian Army’s Grenadiers Regiment. It has been tasked with raising 370 Porter Coy for the 2026-27 financial year, in coordination with 9 DOGRA and 764 ASC Bn (AM). Porter companies support Army units in forward and mountainous areas with load-carrying and logistics duties. The recruitment rally is coordinated with the district administrations of Dibrugarh and Tinsukia in Assam, which have been asked to give the notice wide publicity.
Recruitment rally in Dibrugarh, Assam
The rally venue, 764 ASC Bn (AM), Mohanbari, is located in Dibrugarh, a major town in Upper Assam. Candidates from Dibrugarh town itself, as well as from neighbouring Tinsukia district, fall within the area the district administrations have been asked to publicise this notice in. Dibrugarh is connected by road, rail and air to other towns in Upper Assam, so candidates travelling from Tinsukia, Naharkatia, Duliajan or other nearby areas can reach the venue using regular local transport; the notice does not give specific travel times or distances, so none are stated here. Candidates should confirm their exact travel route with the recruiting cell or local Employment Officer before the rally date. (This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with the recruiting unit or district Employment Office.)

Should you apply?
This rally suits candidates in Dibrugarh and Tinsukia, and nearby parts of Upper Assam, who are physically fit, aged between 18 and 40, and looking for short-term paid work with the Army as a porter. Candidates with a trade skill in carpentry, electrical work, masonry or plumbing have an advantage, since these trades are given priority and are also tested separately. The physical standards are demanding — the run, push-up and shuttle targets need genuine preparation, not last-minute effort.
One honest trade-off to weigh: this is a fixed 179-day engagement (1 September 2026 to 26 February 2027), not a permanent government job, and no salary figure is published in the notice. Candidates who need certainty about pay before travelling to the rally should confirm this directly with the recruiting cell first. Candidates from outside Arunachal Pradesh must also arrange an Inner Line Permit in advance, which adds a step most other recruitment rallies do not require. (This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with the recruiting unit.)
