    Cadet's Hand Book (Navy)

    1 CADET’S HAND BOOK (NAVY) SPECIALISED SUBJECT 2 Preface 1. National Cadet Corps (NCC), came into existence, on 15 July 1948 under an Act of Parliament. Over the years, NCC has spread its activities and values, across the length and breadth of the country; in schools and colleges, in almost all the districts of India. It has attracted millions of young boys and girls, to the very ethos espoused by its motto, “unity and discipline” and molded them into disciplined and responsible citizens of the country. NCC has attained an enviable brand value for itself, in the Young India’s mind space. 2. National Cadet Corps (NCC), aims at character building and leadership, in all walks of life and promotes the spirit of patriotism and National Integration amongst the youth of the country. Towards this end, it runs a multifaceted training; varied in content, style and processes, with added emphasis on practical training, outdoor training and training as a community. 3. With the dawn of Third Millennia, there have been rapid strides in technology, information, social and economic fields, bringing in a paradigm shift in learning field too; NCC being no exception. A need was felt to change with times. NCC has introduced its New Training Philosophy, catering to all the new changes and developments, taking place in the Indian Society. It has streamlined and completely overhauled its training philosophy, objectives, syllabus, methodology etc, thus making it in sync with times. Subjects like National Integration, Personality Development and Life Skills, Social Service and Community Development activities etc, have been given prominent thrust.

    Indian Navy's 'CAMPING' Expeditions in the Indian Ocean Region Author

    www.maritimeindia.org Indian Navy’s ‘CAMPING’ Expeditions in the Indian Ocean Region Author: R S Vasan Date: 06 April 2018 The year that has gone by is significant in many aspects for the Indian Navy’s operational deployment which has been demonstrated far and wide in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). The time-tested formula of the navies of the world, namely, “Forward presence and posturing” can only be effective when it is applied continuously in a sustained manner to maintain a credible ‘Command Control and Communication’ architecture, which is driven by an effective information management system. The Indian Navy commissioned the Information Management and Analysis Communication (IMAC) system in November 2014, in Gurgaon, close to the capital. This has enabled information collation, analysis and dissemination in real time. New Horizons, New Deployment Pattern Commencing early last year, the Indian Navy has adopted a new form of extended deployment pattern by surface units which remain on patrol for up to three months before being relieved. There is a maritime surveillance architecture (MSA) led by the P8i Long Range Maritime Reconnaissance and Anti Submarine Warfare aircraft operating from INS Rajali in Arakkonam and the IL 38s operating from INS Hansa in Dabolim. These efforts are augmented by satellites, medium range surveillance platforms such as Dornier aircraft as also by UAV squadrons operated by the Navy. The requirement for such continuous deployment has been acutely felt with the increased presence of the PLA Navy (PLA-N) and also other maritime developments in India’s neighbourhood. It is a matter of concern that there is a near continuous presence of PLA-N surface and sub-surface units who are on variety of missions in the Indian Ocean, including, anti-piracy off the Somali Coast since 2008.

Its two core tasks are to: • produce distinctive research and fresh policy options for Australia’s international policy and to contribute to the wider international debate • promote discussion of Australia’s role in the world by providing an accessible and high-quality forum for discussion of Australian international relations through debates, seminars, lectures, dialogues and conferences. The views expressed in this paper are entirely the authors’ own and not those of the Lowy Institute for International Policy. This paper is part of a wider research and outreach project on nuclear stability in a changing Indo-Pacific Asia, supported by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. NUCLEAR-ARMED SUBMARINES IN INDO-PACIFIC ASIA: STABILISER OR MENACE? EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In their quest for regional security, rising powers China and India are seeking a powerful deterrent — nuclear weapons on submarines. In theory, this could reduce the risk of a major war in Indo-Pacific Asia, as no adversary would want to strike first against a country with so invulnerable a nuclear arsenal. Ballistic missile submarines are widely considered to have helped keep the peace during the Cold War, and continue to be the mainstay of US, Russian, French and British defence.
