Line of Actual Control (LAC) : India & Tibet Border Updates

Lolwa said:
I'm not talking about a new service. It's just renaming it and centralising command. So that better training and standardisation can be achieved. Right now bsf and itbp have difference in experience (because of the region) and so a combined force could result in a paramilitary army. We have too many CAPF's we should focus on making one into quality organization instead of creating a new organization everytime a problem starts. For example we have 28 intelligence agencies still we have regular intelligence failures. So it's not the fault of intelligence agencies but the strategic culture in the agencies that gets transmitted...

The opposite, with their own chain of command, is better. That's also why we are going to theaterise our military, so that we have separate chains of command in each theatre. Or else you can imagine the burden just 1 command will face when dealing with multi-front threats. The govt policy is to have One Border, One Force structure, and it works.

The army is also recommending removing the paramilitary from flashpoints.
 
India Today has now come out with what happened on 15th June. If you go thru my posts between 16th to 22nd June, you will see that I had posted this very account of the incidents.

This will hit some raw Chinese nerve, if true.

It is a good move as many soldiers of PLA are of Tibet origin and SFF is also mostly of Tibet origin. It will be even better if we let SFF give moral lectures on loud speakers and ask tibet soldiers of PLA to rebel against them. That will surely create doubts in the mind of Chinese Generals about the loyalty of Tibettan soldiers in PLA.

I'm not saying that they should be entirely centralised. Their chain of commands should be seperate. What I want is a standardization in procurement equipment and training and centralisation in terms of how the operations and data sharing is happening. And bsf and itbp can share their tactics and do joint operations and there scope should be increased from simple border patrol to a larger role that can be integrated with the Army command during times of war. Right now it's like a discount army force. Our itbp and bsf guys are as experienced and battle hardened a better equipment and integration with the army can give us boost in our manpower and firepower if you can get what I'm trying to imply...

Since the army wants to remove them from flashpoints furthers my point. We need to invest in bsf and itbp in such a way that they can become the second line of defence in that sense...

That won't work out. The operational conditions of the BSF and ITBP are totally different. They need to remain separated. During war, they come under army control anyway.

Since the army wants to remove them from flashpoints furthers my point.

It's actually the opposite, the army is asking for full control of the problem regions. For example, they want the BSF to completely vacate from the LoC.

Similarly they want operational control of ITBP until such time peace returns. No different from how PLA controls border defence guards on their side of the LAC.

We need to invest in bsf and itbp in such a way that they can become the second line of defence in that sense...

The second line of defence is the army reserve, called the Territorial Army. So we already have what you're asking for.

What you're recommending is a third line. But we can barely afford to equip even our first line fully. Anyway, we need a border force. The idea behind a border force is to prevent a trigger-happy general creating problems in peaceful areas, while also retaining full civilian control of the peaceful area. So the BSF and ITBP have to remain as such.

The TA is now directly under the CDS. So the armed forces already have everything necessary.

Paxtan is literally shaken by resolve of GoI and IA against China. Their media is under strict control because PA didn't leak their vulnerabilities, neither it has allowed such topics to be discussed by independent thinkers. Almost everybody, including Indians, believed we will rollover and submit.

The message gone to the world, including paxtan, is India will fight back resolutely. To hell with Xi and PLA, if they have guts, fire a shot towards IA and see what happens next.

This made paxtan nervous. So they are thinking of assimilating GB as a province, UN can go to hell, before IA invades and kick Panjabi salwars across.

Current standoff has been an eye opener for paxtan more than anyone else. They are taking defensive maneuvers in advance.

GB and POK is our territory, and it would be a shame for India if we allow a bankrupt, retarded and fake nation like paxtan to absorb our land.
