On Sunday, Chief of Defence Staff Gen Anil Chauhan announced big plans for India’s military. Recently, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh mentioned that 2025 will be the year for new reforms in defence.
A major focus will be creating something called “integrated theatre commands.” This means that the Army, Navy, and Air Force will work closely together, combining their strengths to tackle security challenges in specific regions. Right now, these three services operate separately, but the new plan will help them function as a single unit.
Gen Chauhan is also working on a command center that will help all three services plan and execute their operations together. He said they are preparing new strategies for operations in different domains, including space and with new technologies.
Currently, a ‘Vision 2047’ plan is being developed to modernize our armed forces. This will be an important step in ensuring India stays strong and secure. The aim is to use all available resources wisely and efficiently.
To achieve this, eight key areas have been identified to improve cooperation among the three branches of the military. This includes better planning, training, and logistics. The goal is to adapt to new ways warfare is fought and to ensure our armed forces can work effectively across different conflict situations.
Gen Chauhan also mentioned the importance of new technologies like artificial intelligence and drones to strengthen future capabilities. Understanding how future wars will be fought and preparing for them will be challenging, but it’s necessary for success
