They are not wrong in doing so. Tri services commands are absolutely necessary and there is no way to circumvent it.Western media keep writing off Indian Military for the lack of a joint chief of staffs, too.
So nothing substantial to add to the topic I see. How about you dispute the points made one by one, you know the ones that state structural flaws with each service?Now, I understand how come USA was losing her ground in dealing with China. For a committee which is supposed to know everything in China, making such a report is really a big blow to its reputation: Do they have any idea of the position of Wen Jiabao? He is the premier not chairman, nor the member of CMC. How is he supposed to command air force? Can any American department head (except defence department) to order the motivation of US force?
Wow, you want me to argue with a report can't even get the basic fact right? Sorry, I got better way to waste my time.So nothing substantial to add to the topic I see. How about you dispute the points made one by one, you know the ones that state structural flaws with each service?
Waste away!!Wow, you want me to argue with a report can't even get the basic fact right? Sorry, I got better way to waste my time.
There is. You need a ballsy prime minister. Indira Gandhi achieved more without a tri-services command (breaking enemy-state number one apart into two equal parts in a military conflict), than the US ever did with one.They are not wrong in doing so.

I beg to differ.There is. You need a ballsy prime minister. Indira Gandhi achieved more without a tri-services command (breaking enemy-state number one apart into two equal parts in a military conflict), than the US ever did with one.
Minor hitch. Inter-branch incidents like this happen in the US military all the time.Kargil - One of the bone of contention between IAF and IA was the role of air force in an army led campaign. IA wanted IAF to use choppers to provide support to the troops. IAF tried but due to lack of proper equipment the effort failed. IAF then geared up for air interdiction much to the displeasure of IA. Another bone of contention was the whitewashing of the extent of intrusion and scale of mobilization required.
NSG is not a military branch. It's under MHA, and a joint command couldn't have done shit until MHA called in the military.26/11 - Delays in the arrival of NSG is still a controversial topic. But things could have been different if a joint command was there. Instructors from Belgaum and Mhow and Garuds from Pune would have had found their way much before NSG.
Minor hitch in a minor conflict can lead to major blunder in a major war. Most people don't realize the "jointness" of US armed forces. Fourth or fifth largest military in the world was reduced to rubble in a matter of weeks, something Chinese watched in horror.Minor hitch. Inter-branch incidents like this happen in the US military all the time.
NSG use IAF transports so MHA has to call in the military right from the beginning. Under a unified command, aviation assets would be dedicated for such incidents.NSG is not a military branch. It's under MHA, and a joint command couldn't have done shit until MHA called in the military.
