IDS To Conduct Crash Course For Senior Military Officers
In a first, the Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff (HQ IDS) is organising a Combined Operational Review and Evaluation (CORE) Programme for senior officers of Tri-Services at USI, New Delhi from 09 to 13 Sep 24. The five-day development cum orientation programme, has been designed for Major General and equivalent officers from the three services, along with officers from the Ministry of Defence, MEA, and MHA.
The CORE programme has been conceptualized to prepare senior officers of the Indian Armed Forces for future leadership roles, by developing skills in strategic planning, duly anticipating, and preparing for future threats, challenges and conflicts. The CORE programme aims to foster jointness and integration and enhance cooperation and coordination among different services to create a detailed understanding of the operational environment.
The single-point organisation for jointmanship, headed by CISC (chief of Integrated Defence Staff to the Chairman Chiefs of Staff Committee), integrates policy, doctrine, war-fighting and military purchases. Jointmanship refers to a degree of co-ordination and integration in terms of strategy, capabilities and execution across the three services. The CISC reports to the CDS who is spearheading the theaterisation drive.
The military is ready with the blueprint of the theaterisation model and will present it to the government for final approval soon.
