dimensions. Military forces will be identified, rehearsed and
equipped for such contingencies. In a given contingency,
should the Sub Conventional threat escalate, the Indian
Army will also remain prepared for punitive response
against all threats in this domain with all security agencies.
Non-Contact and Hybrid Warfare.
Non-Contact and Hybrid
domains of conflict are now being integrated into the conventional and
sub conventional realms and could be non-declaratory and nonattributable in its execution, a characteristic of Grey Zone Warfare that
needs to be catered for.
The Indian Army will enhance capabilities to address the
challenges of non-contact domains of conflict viz cyber, space
and information as a component of our National strategy for noncontact warfare to cause unaffordable losses to potential
adversaries.
Due to increased threat of hybrid warfare, the Indian Army
will prosecute operations with designated forces, equipped and
mandated to effect attacks/ retaliation in the Information Warfare
(IW) domain. Adequate capabilities will be developed to dominate
the hybrid warfare environment, both along our Northern and
Western borders and in dealing with internal security, in
coordination with earmarked services and agencies.
Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW).
The Indian
Army will continue to meet its other secondary obligations like Aid to
Civil Authorities, Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR),
Internal Security Duties, Nation Building, UN Peace Keeping Operations
and Out of Area Contingency (OOAC) tasks, including assistance to
Friendly Foreign Countries (FFCs) and assistance in ‘Non Combatant
Evacuation Procedures’.
Enhancing Domestic Defence Capability.
The Indian Army
will integrate with defence research, public sector units and civil
industries to develop systems, ideas and concepts, in fielding of latest
weapons and equipment to provide impetus to domestic defence
production.
