Govt Allows Single-Point Command For Army, Navy, Air Force
- Defence Minister Rajnath Singh took a significant step towards modernising the Indian Armed Forces by authorising the CDS and the Secretary of the Department of Military Affairs to issue Joint Instructions and Joint Orders applicable to the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
- This landmark decision marks a departure from the traditional practice, where each Service independently issued instructions on matters involving two or more branches, often resulting in overlapping directives and administrative redundancies.
- The first Joint Order, titled ‘Approval, Promulgation and Numbering of Joint Instructions and Joint Orders,’ was issued immediately following the announcement. This order is designed to standardise procedures, streamline processes, and eliminate unnecessary duplications across the Services.
- Ultimately, this reform is poised to strengthen India’s defence preparedness by ensuring that the Armed Forces operate as a cohesive and modernised entity, capable of meeting contemporary security challenges with greater agility and effectiveness.
