Is there a official DFI twitter handle?
Maybe would be nice to congratulate India’s first CDS officially... (with a graphic).
Someone please give a quick overview on how this change will reflect in a war scenario in contrast to the older way of doing things? i.e earlier if the Army was fighting on land and needed the Navy to impose a blockade, this order could only be given by the gormint, and now the CDS can do it on his authority?
May Gen Rawat have an illustrious tenure as the first Chief of Defence Staff.

Only cyber and space commands directly under CDS..Nope CDS still don't have such powers he heads DMA which is separate division in MoD . If another kargil type situation happens the chiefs will still take the orders directly from RM and not from CDS as of now .But in the long run CDS will get time to create theatre commands aka Tri service commands which he might have command to control . Abhi toh bacha paida hua ab kaise bolenge he will run 100 metres or 10k marathon . Lets wait and watch it will take minimum 10 years to see the effects of CDS
Well that is one way to look at it but a negative and prejudicial way indeed.Looks like Bi ra sold his soul to become 1st CDS by giving complete control to the babudom what is the use of CDS and DMA when it again needs approvals from DS and babulog . Babudom control capital procurement which is the gravy train for them and they will never give it to armed forces
Is a Babu supposed to exercise powers of military operations? The answer is no.Giving military command to CDS will make babus and cheifs powerless Indira Gandhi also tried to make sam manekshaw CDS but it was opposed by babus and chiefs. I thought that CDS would work for MOD and there will be a proper military representation but instead they made it for new department of military affairs which is still under MOD and all those babus. so basically it is a bluff and showoff nothing else.IAS association still won.
Right now only cyber and Space are headed by CDS..SFC and A & N are not...To begin with, SFC, Cyber Command, Space Commands, SoD, A&N
Unfortunately, Indian democratic and bureaucratic institutions do not believe in the principles of Unity of Command. Our Parliamentary as also bureaucratic systems believe in and functions through Committee approaches. Every ministry has three to six secretaries, bureaucratic decisions are arrived at by Committee of Secretaries, Parliamentary decisions are arrived at through Parliamentary Committees, Govt decisions are arrived at Cabinet Committees and if nothing else than GoM. This so called democratic system is essentially meant to build and arrive at consensus of majority decision.I honestly expected Modi to see through coup shit. Instead he ate it.
The CDS prescribed post-Kargil was that who can make the CoAS tie his shoelace while simultaneously making the CNS prepare his tea, and the ACM pulling the car out from his garage. A Manekshaw-like, CDG-like, Patton-like military figure who can swiftly respond to a 2.5-front threat from chicoms, porkis, and desi cryptos.
We instead got a 4-star stick-in-the-mud who can't even order a subedar around. A past-shelf-life babu who happens to wear a military uniform.
Please tell me who oversees the SFC and A&N ? CDS had been designated as Permanent Chief of Defense Staff Committee.Right now only cyber and Space are headed by CDS..SFC and A & N are not...
Joint Operations is the term used but future wars will be all joint operations at least between Army and IAF and IAF and Navy. IAF will be involved in all contingencies.@Bhadra sir, what actually will be the role of CDS at times of war? Also, the notification regarding the creation of CDS office and DMA which was released a week ago says CDS will look into the development of theatre commands in near future(although Gen Rawat said we don't necessarily mimic the West), is there any chance of the chain of command going directly to theatre commanders from the uppermost decision making body- a la UCC of the US military setup?
How would CDS work in such case?
