Are camo dresses required to be uniform - is nature uniform - should camo be uniform to blend in? It is one thing to always beat around this bush and another thing to note that this is not a parade event. If our troops appear in non-uniform uniform during formal parade turnouts then we should criticize them, otherwise when they are in camo in an operation setting I personally believe there is no need for uniformity. As long they have non-obvious markers (and it should not be obvious so as to deter snipers) to determine rank and unit then it is all good.
Total straw man argument.
OF COURSE standards are relaxed in the field, that isn’t my point. There should be STANDARD kit, customisation based on induvidual role doesn’t even come into it when every other soldier is wearing a different camo pattern, plate carrier design and or helmet.
And you KNOW this is a failure because when the army goes to an international exercise they ALL have standard brand spanking new kit and are all uniform.
Not only does it show how broken the procurement system is by the IA but it DOES reflect a breakdown in standards and this IS a concern if you give a hoot about the Indian military.
Why should the Indian army be unique? Point to an you other somewhat modern military and see how they look in combat.
Besides that what about common sense? If there’s is standardisation then equipment can be swapped and changed on a unit level. Here every other soldier cannot interchange with any other.
It’s the antithesis to a modern disciplined fighting force and it reveals some real deep issues. It’s legitimate to ask wtf IA is playing at considering their swallow up >50% of the ENTIRE defence budget.
Relax buddy! You're way off the mark here. You see different rigs because they are from different organizations but taking part in the same operation - Army, AR, SOG, CRP, Garuds, SF, NSG, local police and so on. And thus you'll see troops dressed differently during CAS and other ops.
Nah. There’s ample evidence that even within units and sub-units there is a lack of commonality and uniformity. I think I know pretty well by now how to differentiate NSG Fromm CRPF, RR Fromm SOG etc.
