Need for Integrated Theatre Commands, by Deepak Kapoor
Need for Integrated Theatre Commands Deepak Kapoor Backdrop The Indian military is one of the institutions that free India inherited from the British at the time of independence. Thus, in customs, traditions and culture, it has, by and large, followed the ethos of the British military. Even post independence, the Indian military has been influenced more by the British practices than other militaries of the world. Our organisational structure, at both the lower and higher levels, is based on the British model. Being a colonial power, the British organised the Indian military in a manner that suited their interests best. In making changes/ alterations/ additions to this organisation to suit our requirements post independence, we have followed an incremental approach whereby the basic structure has been retained and built upon. While this methodology was fine to begin with and met our requirements well for some time after independence, in the long run, the use of the incremental model on the same foundation is bound to have its constraining effects, and limit the options. The edifice that, thus, gets created is bound to crumble when it can no longer absorb further changes. The moot question that arises is whether this is the best organisational model suited for our present-day needs. General Deepak Kapoor (Retd) is former Chief of India’s Army Staff. 46 CLAWS Journal l Summer 2013 NEED FOR INTEGRATED THEATRE COMMANDS War-fighting has undergone tremendous changes in the last 70 years since World War II. Today, more than ever, the importance of integrated operations involving all three Services, backed by cyber, space and surveillance assets stands validated for the conduct of conventional operations.

I welcome you to the magnum opus of this year’s PMUNC, The JCC: East Pakistan Crisis. My name is Prateek Swain and I will be your chair for the India committee. First, I’ll introduce myself; I will be starting my sophomore year at Princeton and will be majoring in Economics or Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy (depending on my mood when I have to declare) with a certificate in computer science. I have been debating as well as participating/chairing MUNs since my sophomore year of high school, and have carried on with these endeavors in college. Last year I was the Director for the Korean Reunification Committee at PMUNC, so I’m naturally extremely excited to be chairing this committee and have full faith that it will be a great experience for both you and me. This is certainly not my first crisis, but perhaps the one closest to my heart. Last semester, I took one of those eye opening classes at Princeton on Human Rights with Rebecca (Chair of the Pakistan committee) which set the foundation for this JCC to come into existence.

INDO-PACIFIC Continued: India to Create New Chief of Defence Staff Position
INDO-PACIFIC India to Create New Chief of Defence Staff Position OE Watch Commentary: As the Indian government continues reforming its armed forces, the accompanying excerpted article reports on how one reform that has been under consideration for a number of years appears to finally be set to take place. The article from India Today examines the recent announcement by Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the creation of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), a new position that, as the article notes, “would be the government’s single-point military advisor, and sharpen coordination between the forces.” The author provides significant background information on how the creation of the CDS position came about, and what changes could take place Service Chiefs pay homage at Amar Jawan Jyoti, India Gate - Navy Day 2017. following its establishment. Source: Indian Navy via Wikimedia, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Service_Chiefs_pay_homage_at_Amar_Jawan_Jyoti,_India_Gate_-_Navy_Day_2017_(4).jpg, GODL India. The author points out how “the post of CDS, one of the prime learnings from the Kargil War of 1999, was an unfinished agenda of the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government” and that “India is the world’s last major democracy without a single-point military advisor like the CDS.” He also notes how the Kargil Review Committee, formed after the 1999 war to review the events that led to up the conflict and provide an assessment of the military, “was scathing in its indictment of the entire national security and apex decision-making apparatus, calling
