The Chindits were a British special operations force that conducted guerrilla-style operations in Burma (now Myanmar) during World War II. They were formed to disrupt Japanese supply lines and communication networks behind enemy lines, employing long-range penetration tactics. The name "Chindit" is derived from "Chinthe," a Burmese mythical lion-like creature.
