- NEW DELHI: When Gen. Bipin Rawat took over as India’s first Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) on December 31, 2019, it was widely expected that the ultimate objective of creating the top post-formation of theatre commands-would be achieved in about three years. A little less than two years in his new role, Gen. Rawat died in a helicopter crash. The government named his successor, Gen. Anil Chauhan, nine months later. He has held several rounds of discussions with the three Services chiefs in his quest to bring about jointness in the military. So where do things stand as of now? In this episode of ‘Simply Nitin’, StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale explains how the forces are working towards that end and why the end result may still be over a year away if not more.

Nation missing Lt. Shri CDS Bipin Rawat. He had a clear vision on this!
He was the main culprit of this fu*king agenda..
Keep doing the great work Nitin. Can you please give us an update on discussions around Indian Rocket Forces? And how people are thinking about bringing in (not yet formed) IRF into Theatearisation concept?
Kargil committee report prepared by Dr. Subramaniyan, was very clear on this, 22y have passed, Alas!
Nitin, I always watch your videos, very informative, looks like you closely follow all the developments in armed forces and provide us info which no other main stream TV channels or TH-cam channels. Thanks
India should have 5 Forces and 7 Theatre Commands
1. Thal Sena
2. Nau Sena
3. Vayu Sena
4. Nabh Sena (for Space, Cyber and Technology warfare)
5. Agni Sena (For unconventional warfare including nuclear war and special operations)
Commands:
1. Northern Command (China centric)
2. Western Command (Pakistan centric)
3. Central Command (all Indian states not sharing land border or sea)
4. Eastern Command (West Bengal, Assam and other NE States with Bangladesh and Myanmar front)
5. Southern Command (Tamilnadu, Kerala, Lakshdweep, Srilanka, Maldives and entire Indian Ocean)
6. South-West Command (Arabian Sea, Rad Sea and Suez canal, Arabian peninsula, West Asia)
7. South East Command (ASEAN except Myanmar, South China Sea, up to Taiwan and Australian coast)
There should be five theater commands:
CENTRAL command - Special Forces, Cyber-Aerospace defence, Intelligence, NTRO and Strategic Forces command
Northern command - Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh to West Bengal. Mountain warfare divisions.
Eastern command - Sikkim, West Bengal to all N-E states. Mountain & Jungle warfare divisions.
Western command - Gujarat to Punjab with plane area and Thar desert. Desert warfare with mechanized divisions involved.
Indian Ocean command - Southern peninsula, islands and Indian ocean region.
AGILE should be used as process to bring out this transformation.
First transfer everything under RM/CDS to CENTRAL Command based in Mhow.
Then start with another theater (probably Western command) by assigning a theater commander.
Let the process begin as a template can be created for other geographies to create further theater commands.
Assign an airforce commander to pair with each theater commander.
CENTRAL theater command can serve as seat of jointness and buffer for logistics. All other theaters can be sub-servient to it.
Best wishes
sir, I request you to make an episode on multi domain warfare and it's future.
Names of the victim killed?
First step is having common rank names and uniform.
As you note there isno uniform military code of conduct that the US has. Agniveers doesn't help.
Nothing has happened in the last 5 to 6 years since this concept was thrown up as a Jumla
Are you dumb? The Americans took 5-6 years to do this, the Chinese took 7-8 years. Big operational and doctrinal changes like theatearisation don't happen in a matter of days because dumb people like you want it to happen in a day. Also remember reforms of any kind that are heavily discussed at all levels of society (military, civil society, channels like SNG, think tanks) are more likely to come to fruition and long lasting rather than hastily implemented reforms.
Indian defence system and mindset failure of service and government India
You need educated political leadership to get this done, not a farzi graduate of entire political science 😂
You seriously need some mental asylum asap
But this so called farji graduate has shown himself more capable then people having degrees from foreign Universities,education is not everything the will to create change is what matters most🙏
How much education do you have? If you are so educated, why don't you declare yourself The Supreme Commander of Indian Armed Forces and tell the country how to go about these reforms? You're the typical Kaushik Basu type, just Big talk and advice, nothing to implement on the ground.
Better than Oxford educated pappu
