ThePrint had reported earlier this month that while theaterisation is the ultimate goal, set to be rolled out one year from now, the focus is on structured jointness initiatives by 2024-end.
Members from all the sub-committees of the apex Chiefs of Staff Committee, the CDS and the three Service Chiefs will review the progress made in multiple domains.

Change in name to Impairment Relief doesn't affect 'true nature of entitlement or quantum of emoluments', says CDS. Concerns of ex-servicemen were addressed by a panel, he adds.
Lt Gen Chauhan retired as the Eastern Army Commander on 31 May, 2021. Prior to that, he was the Director General of Military Operations during the Balakot air strike in 2019.
The MoD and the armed forces haven't gotten their act together—the delay in the sanction for prosecution shows it. It will compound into a total loss of faith.
India’s military leaders have valuable foreign experience that they have gained from ground operations, professional military education and defence diplomacy.
Why do people who complain that our municipalities are incapable of offering proper shelter to dogs not worry about the pathetic shelter offered to refugees and victims of political persecution?
Centre for Science and Environment in new report makes case for rationalising GST on waste material, saying most informal operators can’t afford high tax & it also hinders recycling.
21st edition of annual joint military exercise will be held from 1 to 16 September, aimed at sharing military tech, operational best practices & disaster relief coordination methods.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
1. Given the extremely short duration of the skirmish, there hardly was any time for China to actively involve herself.
2. Not to mention that India took great pains to tell one and all (likely incl China) well in advance that only ‘terrorist camps’ were targets. This ensured China would not react.
The moot point here is – if India were to walk into POK tomorrow with a view to free it of all terrorist camps and this action escalates into a 60 or 90-day war with Pak, will China remain a mute spectator? Or will she see this as an opportunity to ‘straighten’ the LAC in Ladakh & Arunachal? (That China will actively re arm/replenish Pak is beyond reasonable doubt.) Will China’s PLA take some active measures that force our Army to peel off urgently reqd fmns from the Western Front and move them to safeguard our Northern borders? Will Bangladesh sit tight and quietly mouth ‘Ami tomake bhalobashi’ to India?
If not, we had better be ready for 3 fronts (which can include a very restive population in the North East egged on by subversives in turn encouraged by BD and China) and not delude ourselves by mouthing platitudes or kicking the can down the road for someone else to sort out later saying ‘very difficult to define’.
Hi Snehesh – This is no contradiction; perhaps a strategic revision of Lft Singh’s view [that it is difficult to define support] particularly after Chinese responded to Lft Singh’s assertion!! ..And said that defence support is part of NORMAL cooperation that two friendly countries carry for each other!
After all, we do not want Chinese to be blatant / overt in their support’ isn’t it?
Can the government’s stand be consistent on any matter of national importance with international implications these days? I was genuinely impressed with the Deputy Chief’s briefing at FICCI event which gave a candid take on the conflict and its happenings and now the CDS comes out and contradicts him, Then there was the fiasco with supporting Dalai Lama’s succession plans with Kiren Rijiju coming out in support and then the MEA undermining him. Even with Op Sindoor, first it was dodging the question of losses, then it was a tacit admission of losses and now the Dassault CEO comes out and says that one aircraft was lost due to ‘technical failure’. Even though we defended ourselves against their loitering munitions and missiles well and inflicted serious strategic blows to their Air Force bases, our muddled messaging that is beginning to rival ‘A Comedy of Errors’ has led to a squandered PR op.
