Amid efforts by India's three services to establish integrated theatre commands as part of the military reorganisation aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and jointness among the armed forces, a tri-services tableau during the 76th Republic Day Parade on January 26 will display the spirit of jointness and integration.
With the theme ‘Shashakt aur Surakshit Bharat’, the tableau will showcase the conceptual outlook for jointness and integration in the armed forces, the defence ministry said in a release.
A joint operations room facilitating networking and communication among the three services would display a battlefield scenario demonstrating a synchronised operation in land, water and air with the indigenous Arjun Main Battle Tank, Tejas MKII fighter aircraft, Advanced Light Helicopter, destroyer INS Visakhapatnam and a Remotely Piloted Aircraft, reflecting the tri-services synergy in multi-domain operations.
Jointness and integration are at the core of the mandate allocated to the department of military affairs as part of the ‘Year of Reforms’ initiative of the ministry of defence. These have been identified as the major building blocks towards maximising the combat potential of the armed forces in both, contemporary and future conflicts.
“This evolution towards jointness and integration, driven by the synergy between the three Services, will significantly enhance the country’s military capabilities by fostering a culture of shared responsibility and unified action in safeguarding national interests,” the defence ministry said in a release.
