Army rightsizing, rationalising and reorganising: Gen Manoj Pande

A press statement issued by the Public Relations Officer, Defence, Pune, read, “The Army chief emphasised on inextricable link between the nation’s progress and its security needs and stressed that while economic power is the fountainhead of growth, yet it is the military strength that lends it the ability to effect the outcomes that are necessary to protect and further its multifarious interests while ensuring continuous increase in its comprehensive national power. While deliberating upon the contours of the current and evolving geo-political landscape, the Army chief highlighted the need to ‘expect the unexpected’ as the battle space has become more complex, contested and lethal.”

The press statement added, “The Army chief elaborated upon the Indian Army’s vision to transform into a modern, agile, adaptive technology enabled and self-reliant future ready force, capable to deter and win wars in a multi-domain operational environment across the full spectrum of operations. He said that as part of force restructuring and optimisation, the Indian Army is reviewing its organisational structures to include rightsizing, rationalising and reorganising, while undertaking modernisation and technology infusion to include niche technologies including 5G, Artificial Intelligence, quantum technology, internet of military things, robotics, adaptive manufacturing and space assets for satellite communication. He also reiterated that these capability development endeavours stand committed to the vision of Atmanirbharta.”
