Through 'theaterization' the Army will synergize the available forces better between the commands and the logistics supporting the them will move much faster than before. So our deployment time in case of a war will be much faster than before.

Hopefully with these changes, they won't take a bloody month to mobilize troops, armor and artillery elements like the embarrassing episode during operation Parakram.

The main aim of this 'theater' concept is to optimize the resources and use the different arms of the tri-services ( Army, Air Force and Navy) within the given battle space to tackle the enemy targets with different priorities. To achieve this, the battle command will be centralized and decision is taken at he battle command centre based on the big battle picture obtained from the inputs of recon, intelligence, EW, spy satellites, UAV etc. So the centralized command centre, based on the battle picture obtained, allocates the forces and weapons where it is essentially needed. This increases the efficiency of the attacks as well as optimization of resources. For this to happen synergy between all the tri-forces is a must.

Indian Army's officer training set for massive reform

Indian Army's officer training set for massive reform [newKerala.com News # 86038]


New Delhi, Oct 12 : The training of Indian Army officers is set for a major change with a decision Wednesday introduce courses on national, strategic and technical aspects in the initial years the men and women of the force spend in military academies.


With this, the focus of training will transform from being structured and focused on war fighting skills to being more intellectual in content, keeping in line with the new concept of "scholar warriors".

The change has been mooted by the Shimla-based Army Training Command (ARTRAC), which placed a new proposal before the commanders meet, which had begun Monday and will continue till Friday.

"The current professional development philosophy for officers was focused mainly on structured and institutionalised training, aimed at enhancing war fighting skills.

"The ARTRAC proposal aims at ensuring that officers gained adequate understanding of issues of national, strategic and technical importance, in their formative years, through professional military education," an Indian Army release said.


The conference also debated the major issue of maintaining equipment through its life cycle and felt the need for evolving an effective system that would comprehensively address this issue.

Much of the Indian Army's equipment has entered the obsolescence stage, with new inductions and acquisitions stagnating for decades now.

For instance, India has not bought a single new artillery gun in the last 25 years since the Bofors corruption scandal broke in the late 1980s.

"On the life cycle sustainment of equipment, it was felt that there was a need for evolving an effective system that would comprehensively address equipment related issues," the release said.

"The aim was for the stakeholders to take a womb-to-tomb view of the equipment, right from the concept formulation stage, so that sustainment costs are lowered," the release said.


The army commanders also had an interactive session with Defence Secretary Shashi Kant Sharma on the functioning of the integrated defence headquarters and coordination between military officers and civilian bureaucrats in the defence ministry.


In the next two days, the conference will debate on operational and human resource matters.
