Surgical strikes here to stay
NEW DELHI APRIL 25, 2017 21:46 IST




Admiral Sunil Lanba, Chairman, Chiefs of Staff Committee and Navy Chief releases the Joint Doctrine Indian Armed Forces-2017 in the presence of Army Chief Bipin Rawat (right) and Chief of the Air Staff Birender Singh Dhanoa. | Photo Credit: @adgpi




Included in joint doctrine of the Services as a possible response to terror.
India’s latest military doctrine has added surgical strikes, including across the border, among India’s possible responses to terrorist attacks.

The ‘joint doctrine Indian armed forces’ prepared by the Headquarters, Integrated Defence Staff was released by Admiral Sunil Lanba, Chairman, Chiefs of Staff Committee and Navy Chief in the South Block on Tuesday. The first joint military doctrine was released in 2006.

“The response to terror provocations could be in the form of ‘surgical strikes’ and these would be subsumed in the sub-conventional portion of the spectrum of armed conflict,” the doctrine states.

The reclassification of surgical strikes, officials said, shows that they are not a one-off event any more but part of several options that would be considered. In the last two years, the Army had carried out surgical strikes across the border with Myanmar and Line of Control (LoC) Pakistan, targeting terrorist camps.

The doctrine will serve as a cornerstone document for application of military power in a “synergised manner leading to enhanced efficiency, optimum utilisation of resources and financial savings,” the Navy said in a statement.


The revised doctrine was formulated in a record time of nine months, a senior officer said. Last year’s event of surgical strikes and increased tensions on the border gave further impetus to it.

“Doctrines are always works in progress and keep evolving from time to time. A colligate approach was adopted and all three service Headquarters actively participated in the formulation of this capstone document,” a senior officer told The Hindu.

In the past decade or so, a lot of integration has taken place in the Indian armed forces which is highlighted in this doctrine, especially integration in the field of operations, training, management, and perspective planning. The officer stated that this will be followed by formulation of other keystone doctrines like information warfare, training and so on in due course.

“It speaks of the threat posed by radicalisation of youth and also lays emphasis on a proactive philosophy of the Indian armed forces,” the officer added, highlighting the key points in the document.

We should use our medium artillery more to take out terror camps / launch pads across the LoC/IB. Some collateral damage will occur but what the heck? That's one way to screw them when the terrorist honchos and the ISI/PA are made aware that their civilians too could be adversely affected.

PA couldn't care less if you kill a million of their civilians. They have killed more of their own with impunity than you ever could. They care if they lose the battle of perception. They care about losing face overtly.

"Pakistan ek zinda dil quom hai", this oft repeated bs means that as a society Pakis are immune to death and destruction but they are susceptible to their false pride & their made up military prowess, historical or comtemporary.

If you honestly ask me,doing surgical strikes are useless.................
It takes out the threat for a minimum amount of time and then the threat rises again................
Best is to set up a strong intel network in the subcontinent and take out important military,terrorists and ISI targets........
Taking out the planners will help

Surgical strikes are equally important. But as you said, just do those on more important targets. Take out a couple of Saeeds and a couple of Azhars. Porkis will fall in line.

Pakistan is like psorasis(its a skin disease,it never goes away,it decreases and then it increases and this cycle goes on and on till the death of the patient)
Pakis will never give away their idea of bleed india with thousand cuts,fair enough better.............
We better work on a policy to fracture them for once and for all.......................

The way Pakistan is picking out Indian soldiers of high value.( no hard feelings keeping emotions apart) I am telling you and mark this post, they are doing khufiya based operations. They know everything there through locals and some moles they might have established serving the porkis.

If you want once and for all, all out invasion is the only option.

That's what I'm saying. That's what we need to do. Take out their high profile targets ASAP.

Not necessary.................Fund TTP...........
Train them at the af-pak border,train them to sabotage nuke facilities,get them napalm and sarin gas................
We better sabotage water treatment plants to kill civvies in masses and motivate the minorities to go for lone wolf attacks,truck attacks,shootings and a lot more...............

When things really start to spin out of paki military control.....Lose hell on paki nuclear assets and do russian styled invasion of important/strategic parts of pakistan............

The problem is
what ever Pakistan does is terrorism/insurgency in India's eyes.
India cannot do the same, nor the leaders will allow because they have to face the world leaders.

I hope Indian leaders create a consensus to launch intel bsd ops in POK. MI of IA can do it. When Paki CAD can launch such ops then India can too.
Because as per the pattern of assault on Indian army, in J&K it's sure that porkis across LOC have complete info on officers.. I hope this is incorrect but looks like that only.

We need to keep iran and afghanistan on our side(i guess pakistan is also helping us by supporting taliban and killing shia minorities)...................
That will keep our options open for cross border infiltration..................
The world would definitely love a non nuclear banana pakistan even if it is burning and half a million people die there

Nothing to take away from the bravery of the soldiers involved but destroying launch pads serves little tactical and no strategic purpose, particularly when the Pakis can deny it outright.

Pakis conduct their version of 'surgical strikes' all the time.
