During the 1965 war between India and Pakistan, about 65,000 Hurs served in various fronts especially that of Sindh. Hurs volunteered in droves. Given only basic training and light weapons, the Hurs nevertheless gave a fine account of themselves in the conflict. Fighting alongside Rangers and regular army units (known collectively as the Desert Force, the Hurs used their knowledge of the desert to good effect and helped to blunt the Indian offensive.
