Development of capacities will be a pragmatic mix of both
capability and threat based approach to enable a greater span of
responses to plausible scenarios for force developers to work on. We
shall continue to create capacities that deliver national security
outcomes through optimal utilisation of all resources and not those that

Capacity development will aim to enhance ‘Sector Specific
Threat Based’ capacities and move towards a more broad

ensure rapid infusion of technology to upgrade Intelligence,

challenges of close proximity situations and enhance ability to

and Upgrading Operational Efficiencies shall be the prime areas
of focus.
