Does ongoing military reforms and proposed reorganisation cater for future grey zone operations?

Well documented. Well said
Thanks sir – referred to your work on the subject as well .
A comprehensive explainer of a complex dynamic. Well done👍
Thanks a lot Satish
A comprehensive coverage.About 20 years ago I read a book ‘Unrestricted Warfare’ authored by two PLA Colonels. Their thought process then was more than what we are reflecting upon now.In future we are not likely to see long drawn out conflicts. Hence our ‘Theatreisation’ and capabilities development need radical thinking for Grey Zone challenges.Army needs to let PMFs/CAPFs deal with Internal Security (Half Front) which by themselves require review for recruitment and training.These,as also Coast Guard should be functioning under command and control of Army and Navy for ensuring seamless accountability.
Thanks for the value addition sir
