With cooling down of situation with both our western and northern neighbors, the debate about formation of Joint commands (AD, Logistics and Theatres) is again heating up.
My take
- Should not make changes in a haste.
- Should not impose the time pressure of completion within specified time.
- Prevailing conditions and circumstances should be considered.
- Any change should be gradual – so that medium can absorb the changes and stay stable.
Recommended Priority List –
1. Enhance capability of Andaman and Nicobar Command.
2. Create similar joint structure on western sea board.
3. Create joint Cyber command.
4. Create joint Space command.
5. Create joint Special Forces Command.
6. Integrate functions like:
a. Communications and network centricity.
b. Logistics.
c. Training.
d. Maintenance & Repair.
7. Consider a joint structure for Surface to Surface Missile Force.
8. Consider a joint structure to look into aspects related to:
a. Harnessing of new technology.
b. Electronic warfare.
c. ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance)
d. Communications & Networks.
9. Last comes theatre command depending upon availability of resources and favourable situation.
