Middle-level officers from the tri-services, alongside faculty members, recently visited Vajra Corps as part of their Higher Defence Management Course (HDMC). This visit aimed to provide these future military leaders with an immersive understanding of the planning and execution of integrated operations along the Western Front. The experience offered attendees firsthand insights into how large military formations prepare, coordinate, and conduct operations across a variety of terrain in a dynamic security environment.
During the visit, officers received detailed briefings on Vajra Corps’ operational philosophy, joint operating procedures, and the incorporation of emerging technologies. These elements are vital for enhancing real-time decision-making, improving surveillance capabilities, and ensuring combat readiness. The delegation was also exposed to the Corps’ ongoing initiatives to optimize training, logistics, and force structures, which are essential for maintaining agility in response to rapidly changing battlefield requirements.
