9 operations. As part of optimisation, creation of a robust second echelon capability through TA-isation and a pool of reservists will aim to add depth and flexibility to our force optimisation. These forces shall be integrated seamlessly as a vital component of Rear Area Security Plans.  Human – Machine Teaming. At the core of our future military planning will be the effective integration of soldiers, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics into warfighting systems that exploit existing capabilities for success in battle. Increase in operational effectiveness due to technological development in all fields will be offset by corresponding optimisation.  Review of Scaling. A holistic review of present scaling of holding and reserves of ammunition, equipment and other stocks will be carried out as per envisaged operational role and likely employment of each soldier/ sub-unit/ unit/ formation at various stages of battle tailored to specific threats. A ‘one size fits all’ approach will be avoided.  Multi Front Capability. The Indian Army will build capacities to cater for a multi front threat, as the defence needs of the future. Employment of inter-theatre reserves with interoperable equipment/ assets will ensure timely augmentation of forces on the primary front, while guaranteeing effective deterrence on the other. This will be an important component of the Theatre/ Front Strategy for enhancing strategic mobility of agile reserves capable of quick mobilisation in the form of Integrated Battle Groups.  ISR and Precision Strike. Timely and assured ISR inputs, in concert with intelligence of other Services/ agencies will be developed to offset any terrain and force asymmetries. Enhancing the Information Warfare and ISR capabilities will be critical for precise and decisive employment of long range vectors, strategic and other non-contact assets to cause maximum degradation to the adversary.
