Operational Logistics.
Strategic Sustenance Capacity. All modes/
assets of transportation including strategic road/ rail
communications, airfields and mounting bases will
be employed for enhancing capabilities for inter and
intra theatre switching of forces and equipment.
Logistics Planning. Logistic plans will be
tailor-made based on the operations envisaged in
specific theatres. Consolidation of stocks at various
depots in the hinterland will be carried out as well as
the number of logistics echelons reviewed. In the
Tactical Battle Area (TBA), stocks will be suitably
dispersed as per operational requirement. Logistic
movement will be lateral as well as linear to ensure
flexibility and adequacy.
Unified Logistics Structures. The Indian
Army will continue to work towards formulation of
modernised Unified Logistics Structures under a
single logistician as Commander. These structures
shall be networked and automated for ‘Just in Time’
supply. This shall be in concert with our overall
upgradation of operational logistics infrastructure
especially for independent/ isolated sectors.
Nuclear Environment.
The Indian Army will continue
to enhance our capability to fight in a Chemical, Biological,
Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) environment. Field formations/
units will be equipped to prosecute operations through a
Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear contaminated
zone, to maintain tempo of operations.
Training.
Training will be realistic, integrated,
operational oriented and in sync with the Front/ Theatre threat
assessment with the focus on imbibing technologies being
introduced. The focus of training will be as per Formation’s role
with emphasis on ‘Offensive Defence’, Inter Theatre mobilisation,
rapid application of Strike/ Reserve Formations, innovative
employment of Special Forces and Forward Logistics
Management in a techno-centric environment.
