Hyderabad: College of Defence Management (CDM) Secunderabad, a premier tri-service institution of the Armed Forces, commenced a two-day national webinar on “Transformation: Imperatives for the Indian Armed Forces”, on Thursday.
General Bipin Rawat, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), delivered the keynote address, outlining that transformation for Indian armed forces has become a prerequisite to stay relevant in the fast changing geopolitical environment and highlighted that a key strategic management competency is the ability to anticipate, prepare for and adapt to change.
He also emphasised that India is facing a complex and challenging security environment, which dictates enhancement of military capabilities and requires addressing voids in national war-fighting ability.
The first day of the webinar entailed conduct of two major sessions on “Organisational Imperatives” and “Structural Imperatives”, which were covered by senior serving and veteran officers from the three services. As part of “Organisational Imperatives” for transformation, the speakers focussed on the desired changes being sought in the Armed Forces, through promotion of jointness in training, staffing and procurement. The importance of restructuring of military commands into Joint Theatre Commands was also highlighted to achieve desired level of jointness in operations.
Speakers covered the issues pertaining to “Structural Imperatives” highlighting a conceptual framework on theaterisation, for building future ready force. Final session concluded with deliberations on a suggested model for Oceanic Theatre Command (OTC).
