New Delhi, September 29
As the newly appointed Chief of Defence Staff, Lt Gen Anil Chauhan (retd), takes over on Friday, he faces a series of challenges including targets set by the government as well by his predecessor General Bipin Rawat to transform the military.
These include a wide spectrum of tasks like creating theatre commands, having common logistics for the forces and right-sizing the force to meet modern-day needs. The three Services — Army, Air Force and Navy — are not ‘integrated’ to have commonality of logistics, operations, maintenance, transport, training, support services or even communication networks.
