Restructure of Indian Army must address defence challenges faced by country, not just its budgetary concerns
September 20, 2018
Research Fellow, IDSA, Col Vivek Chadha’s article on restructuring of the Indian Army, titled ‘Restructure of Indian Army must address defence challenges faced by country, not just its budgetary concerns’ was published in ‘Firstpost’ on September 20, 2018.
There is little doubt that the Army’s foundations have been built on the experiences forged by wars fought in past decades. It is equally critical, though, to look at national security through the prism of insurgencies and small wars that have bled India for this entire period. The restructuring process must address the conflicts we face, not merely be a band-aid to fix budgetary constraints, writes Col Chadha.
