Pakistan Through US Prism (Part1)

USA has been partnering with Pakistan for the war against terrorism. Few reports are available in the open domain about how USA perceives Pakistan and its Military.

Some of these perceptions of USA about Pakistan and comments are as follows:

 

General

Pakistanis remain in a grim mood about the state of their country. Overwhelming majorities are dissatisfied with national conditions, unhappy with the nation’s economy, and concerned about political corruption and crime.

Defence Forces Joint Structures: Priority List

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.

 

Value additions, views and comments are most welcome
