INDIAN ARMY'S NEW WAR CENTRE IN MATHURA
Indian Army's South Western Command has set up a state-of-the-art war-gaming centre at Mathura. It is third of its kind with the most advanced technology in the country. It will be used to train for warfare anywhere in the world by simulating scenarios at the strategic and operational level. It will also enable senior commanders to plan, execute and analyse hypothetical war scenarios. The Wargaming Centre commonly known as WARCEN will impart training to officers from all arms and services.
The WARCEN was inaugurated by Lt Gen Gyan Bhushan, GOC-in-C, South Western Command . The Army Commander informed that, the Indian Army is making progress by leaps and bounds in the field of computer war-gaming. Simulation and live exercise through networking has resulted into an effective training tool which is not only a cost-effective method of training at various levels, but also allows for effective feedback and instantaneous and highly accurate evaluation of training standards.
Computerized wargames take into account the actual concepts and philosophy of both the attacker and the defender and gives out the results based on mathematical and analaytical models. It also co-relates the capabilities and constraints of the weapon system held with opposing forces and also caters for the terrain features including natural and man made obstacles. Lt Gen Ravi Thodge , GOC Strike One and other officers were also present on the occasion.

Weapons haul unearthed near LoC: Indian Army
The Indian Army Sunday said it had recovered a major haul of arms and ammunition from near the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Kupwara district. "Based on a tip-off from reliable intelligence sources, a search operation was launched by the vigilant troops deployed along the LoC in the Farkian Gali area of the frontier Kupwara district yesterday (Saturday) resulting in the recovery of a major haul of weapons. "A total of 40 weapons including 20 AK-47 rifles, 20 pistols, magazines and ammunition hidden one kilometre inside the LoC were recovered," a defence spokesman said. Inputs were being received over last few days from sources about likely bids for infiltration or pushing the arms across the LoC, he said. "Accordingly, troops were put on high alert and searches were carried out in the suspected areas. Search operations undertaken yesterday led to the recovery of such a large cache of arms and ammunition from a place which is between the LoC and the anti- Infiltration Obstacles System (AIOS)," the spokesman added.

India begins equipping new mountain strike corps
India has started equipping the newly raised specialised mountain strike corps aimed at countering China. A set of six specialised aircraft aiding operations in mountains have been ordered from the US while the case of acquiring specialized attack helicopters and heavy lift copters have moved ahead in the Ministry of Defence. Orders have also been issued to draw troops from existing units to raise the corps and replenish the original regiments with new recruits over the next few years. The appointment of the first Commander of the Corps - a Lieutenant General-rank official - is in its final phase of administrative process. The CCS had cleared the corps on July 17 allocating Rs 64,000 crore to be spent over the next six-seven years. The 17 Strike Corps will be based at Panagarh in West Bengal. It will have two divisions, one located near Panagarh in West Bengal and the other in the foothills of Himlayas at Pathankot in Punjab. Both locations are near important ingress routes. A division will have around 20,000 men. As a first step, New Delhi has ordered six more C-130J Super Hercules special operations aircraft from the US under a $1.1 billion (around Rs 6,000 crore) deal. These will be delivered within three years and will be based at Panagarh. The IAF has a fleet of six such planes based at Hindon - located 20 km east of New Delhi. The Cabinet Committee on Security headed by the PM had cleared the purchase on December 20. The "letter of offer and acceptance" was cleared under the US government's "foreign military sales" (FMS) route on Friday. The plane has the ability for special air operations and transport of material and supplies.
