Preparing for the changing character of warfare across the world, the Indian Army will be ready with more than a dozen Integrated Battle Groups (IBGs) by next year. Senior sources in the defence establishment told The Indian Express that four each of the IBGs will come up facing China and Pakistan, while the Mountain Strike Corps will also be converted into IBGs.
A top source said the Mountain Strike Corps “has become too huge, a bit of an elephant” and will be “divided into five to six IBGs”.
IBGs were first proposed in one of the four studies regarding the re-organising of the Army, which was commissioned last year by Army chief General Bipin Rawat. The proposal to establish the IBGs has already gone to the government and the Army is waiting for approval, the source said.
EXPLAINED
Significant changes to streamline Army
As General Bipin Rawat is set to retire this month, he is one of the top contenders to become India’s first CDS. In his three-year term as Army Chief, Rawat has initiated major changes in the Army that will see fruition. Trimming the flab at the Army Headquarters for more streamlined decision-making is one. But the other significant change is the formation of the IBGs, which will be quicker, flexible and self-sustainable combat units as the Army readies itself for future warfare.
According to the source, the unit “has to be terrain specific”, and moving ahead, the Army cannot have a one-size-fits-all formula. “Difference in formations should depend on the terrain,” the source said, adding that the Army has to go ahead “with smaller forces, this is what we are calling the IBGs”.
It will also include a signal company, a field company and engineering and ordnance will be “merged to become the logistics unit”. Each formation has to be given equipment depending upon what they are, the source said.
“Think of them as oversized brigades,” the source explained.
There will be four IBGs in Sikkim and another four in the Jammu-Sialkot sector facing Pakistan. The IBGs will have the capacity to 10-15 km deep into enemy territory without requiring support.
The source said in modern warfare, attacking a significant city can lead to a severe-counter attack, leading to a pyrrhic victory. The source said that “either you can go deep into the enemy’s territory” or “you can capture a similar territory linearly along the border”.
“Rather than going deeper, to capture the same territory linearly” the forces may not require Strike Corps and can be done by the IBGs, the source said. “But you do not want to not have the capacity to go deeper,” the source said, adding that this was why the Army needs to retain the Strike Corps as well.
The source said that after these initial IBGs are set up, more will come up. The transition to IBGs and to modernise the forces has to happen “gradually” as you cannot have the Army in “turmoil”, the source said.
Three new tri-services agencies are also being built up – a Cyber Agency, a Space Agency and an Armed Forces Special Operations Division. These three agencies will have a joint command, the top source said.
The source said the Cyber Agency is looking at a strength of around 1,000, which will include defence and civilian personnel. “It is being raised for the last two years,” the source said. “The Navy will lead the Cyber Agency and the personnel are being trained with the National Technical Research Organisation.”
The forces are “focusing on creating cyber assets” with both, offensive as well as defensive capability. “You have to save assets and neutralize attacks” first, and then build offensive capacity “as a deterrent”.
The source said the “cyber agency should become a national agency”. While the military can look after defending assets, the offensive aspect should be handled by a national agency.
The top source also stated that General Rawat, as the Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee, has conveyed to the government the expectations of the services for the proposed post of Chief of Defence Staff (CDS). The source said the services want an “empowered” CDS who has “direct access or channel of communication to the Defence Minister at least in the matters of operations”.
Also, the CDS will be a four-starred officer like the chiefs of the three services, the source said. However, the CDS will be a first among equals. Because the ranks of Field Marshal, or the Marshal of the Air Force are five-starred, the CDS cannot be given five stars, the source said.

Army to set up more than dozen integrated battle groups by 2020
Army mulls post to deal with strategies
By Pawan Bali, Dec 14, 2019, 5:48 am IST
Personnel from different verticals were brought in the group to advise and deal with the emerging situation.
New Delhi: The Doklam standoff of 2017 with China has led the Indian Army to propose the setting up of a new, all powerful Deputy Chief of Strategy. The Indian Army is institutionalising the committee formed to deal with the Doklam standoff through Deputy Chief of Strategy, to be headed by a Lt. Gen. rank officer.
According to sources, during the Doklam standoff a “war group” called “Operation and Planning Steering Committee” was set up under the Vice-Chief to deal with the situation.
Personnel from different verticals were brought in the group to advise and deal with the emerging situation. It had personnel from branches of operations, intelligence, logistics, coordination and perception management. “Each personnel crucially contributed during the crisis,” sources said.
“The Deputy Chief of Strategy will have people from such fields under him so that ad-hoc arrangements do not happen in the future. Over a period of time, we want to make the Army more agile to quickly assess and res-pond to emerging situations,” sources added.
This will be the third deputy chief post which is being created in the Indian Army headquarters. The Army is awaiting clearance from the Cabinet to start implementation of the new setup.
The new Deputy Chief of Army Staff (Strategy) will deal with all operational and force planning. As per the plans, he will have DG military operations, DG military intelligence, strategic planning, operational logistics branches, as well as the newly-created information warfare branch under him.
At present, DG (military operations) and DG (military intelligence) report to the Army Chief or Vice-Chief. In keeping with the needs of the future battlefield, hybrid warfare and social media reality, the new DG (information warfare) will have under him the former ADGs public information and information warfare.

Great pic.
Salute to all our soilders for gaurding us while dealing with unimaginable/unlivable conditions.
A CAG report posted has stated that the soilders posted at Siachen and high altitudes in Ladakh are having lack of sunglasses, boots and lack of food.
We seriously need a restructuring of Army and get over a British structure. We can easily save crores in such reforms. Remove Military farms.
End the elite behaviour of Generals, stop their lavish parties.
Some soldiers are treated like servants of these generals. We have seen it in movies too.
Make appropriate use of reserve man power which is almost 900K in productive areas.
Remove red tapism from both civilian as well as Military areas.
Keep Pensions only for those who either retire early due to injury in battlefield or those who get martyr.
Why does a major general or LT gen needs pension?
Better way is to restructure salaries in such a way that theres no requirement of pensions post retirement. Maharashtra government has stopped pensions for civilian employees. They directly get gratuity after retirement

Deployment of Indian Army's integrated battle groups to be done soon
The forces reassigned and reconstituted would be smaller but swifter with greater combat thrust with need based presence of combat support, logistics and service units.

NEW DELHI: In order to facilitate rapid deployment with added firepower to take on potential enemies on its borders, the Indian Army has decided to reconstitute its standing forces into 12 modernized integrated battle groups (IBG’s).
The reconstitution of the close to 12 lakh-strong standing Army is part of the restructuring process which was started in mid-2018, under which Army, organisationally and operationally, is being prepared to face future war imperatives.
The forces reassigned and reconstituted would be smaller but swifter with greater combat thrust with need-based presence of combat support, logistics and service units.
The first IBGs will be reconstituted from the three Corps covering the Western and Northern borders. A senior Army officer said, “We have put up the detailed proposals before the Army headquarters and it is in its final stages of approval. The idea has been met with support across the board.”
He said, “There will be four IBGs in the 9 Corps, 5-6 IBGs in 33 Corps and 3 under the 17 Corps to start with”, adding, “more such formations are up for approvals.”
He said, the shifting of the units will lead to firming up of formations with a troop strength of around 5000, meant for either offensive or defensive role.
While the offensive formations will be used to penetrate deep inside enemy territory, the defensive force will be bolstered lead formations, whenever required.
Keeping the task and terrain in mind, the IBGs can be constituted with units of Infantry, Armoured or Artillery divisions.

Indian Army training dogs for surveillance during counter-terrorist operations
ANI | Last Updated at December 25, 2019 16:40 IST
The Indian Army is training its dogs to help them in operations by mounting Audio-Video (AV) devices on them.
The device has been developed by the commanding officer of the 26 Army Dog Unit, Lieutenant Colonel V Kamalraj, a veterinary surgeon.
"We developed this device after intense research and tried it in Jammu and Kashmir. It can give us real-time details and work as our eyes and ears during any operations, especially with terrorists," Kamalraj told ANI.
Explaining the working of the device, he said, "Let us say that our soldiers find some terrorists hiding in a building and we need to know the details of that particular building, the position of the terrorists, and the entry and exits. The Army can send in a dog with this device. It can give us the details from a distance of one kilometre and send the output through a system," he said.
When asked about the types of dogs who have been trained and their safety, Kamalraj said, "The dogs are of different kinds. There are assault dogs as well, and in case of any face-off with the enemy, the bulletproof jacket will save them from any deadly firing. They can also attack the enemy as they are trained to do so."
Various K9 units across the world are using such dog mounted cameras including some law enforcement agencies in the USA.
Staffordshire Police has been using dog head cameras to record activities of criminals. Similarly, Durham police are also using 'K9cam' to deal with criminals. Portland police last year also tested these cameras for its K9 unit.

This is a great development. Of course the NSG was the pioneer with dog cams in India. Maybe this is a side effect of having the NSG in the valley.
NSG dogs also have proper vests and different types of camo in use :

Ah whatever man. You cannot stop having fun in life because of "lok kya kahenge". When I was in NCC the most fun part of going to an Army attachment camp was the langar. You can relieve all your stress after one session of cooking. Its a lot of fun and an great group activity.
And besides there aren't a lot of things Pakistanis can do by themselves except trolling, unfortunately they suck at trolling too.
The problem with Twitter is that these Porks
Barge in everywhere
I dont see any advantage of making such
A video
It is not a promotional advertisement
Is everything supposed to be "strategic" now ? They are people like us, let them have some fun. People will say things all the time, what will that change anyway ? Besides how is this harmful ? I've seen videos of Chinese army lobbing a grenade only for it to land a few inches in front of them. Then they ran for cover.
I can throw better than that. What will that change ? Let it go.
