Do we still have so called dedicated strike corps or part of them merged with some other formations? Part of them are forward deployed.

Sir eg XII Corps is pivot Corps. It will already be inside by the time XXI comes into play .. leapfrogging to undertake depth ops into Baluchistan and seaside Sindh.


Enough assets with XII corps to take on ...XXI will simply reduce time to go deep.

And logistically, yes ... strike corps had stuff forward staged always ... not fully, but couple of hours from the staging areas.

That is why, the moment M comes, within 6 hours first echelon will be in forward location from depth and within 96 hours offensive ops by deepest corps (in terms of troops location) ie XXI . For I and II expect 24 to 48 hours max. But that is a different ballgame

It is always enforced. Discretionary 70%

I am well aware of it and agree with you. leaves have not been cancelled but reduced to just 85% with a firm rotation plan. You know what I am stating.

That is what I meant. Strike corps forward elements are in position.

That is why, we do not need to mobilize. Offensive operations will begin with existing strength as is where is. Strike Corps will mobilize and reach just as 100% strength of pivot corps marries up with pivot corps .... serving as fresh troops/replenishment.

The Strike corps elements will be reinforced by pivot corps and any deficiency will be made up. These forward elements of strike corps can draw man and machine from any pivot corps. BTW, we have even a strike corps in reserve and you know what I mean.

Well given the timelines and the reorganization of Pivot Corps, it appears that Pivot Corps will have been in action for 24-48 hours before the Strike Corps begin their offensive.

As such I'm assuming the objective of Pivot Corps is to establish limited beachheads and fix the enemy formations, thus opening up opportunities for strong armored forces to make decisive breakthroughs, similar to Soviet doctrine for deep operations.

The Soviet doctrine of OMGs was based on highly mobile groups which could be replenished on the move by helicopters. They did not factor in land logistics and for that purpose they created aircraft like Su-25 and heavy attackers like Mi-25 which could also carry troops to the battle and do casualty evacuation.

Sir.

There is a different take to it. No comments beyond it.

Sir.

Thank you for the information. Deeply appreciate it.

And I am a soothsayer by profession sir, merely read a lot and good at conjectures. By mistake wore uniform some time back and it looked good. But then got bored and now act as an expert knowing nothing at all.

Welcome to the forum & my best wishes to you and your loved ones.
 
I dont understand why the IA or indian security forces go into a gun battle, maybe they worry about price,
They should simply use 84 mm Carl Gustaf from stand off range and take down the place along with the terrorists.
The indianarmy policy to protect Kashmiri property and lives is affecting the lives of the very soldiers.

Best to take them down with Carl Gustaf or say 12.7 mm / 14.7 mm Anti material rifles.
