The Indian Armed Forces have been finetuning the final draft for the creation of integrated theatre commands.
This reform is aimed at integrating the three defence services to operate jointly in specific adversary-based theatres with defined military goals during a limited conflict or war.
The three defence services currently operate individually under their individual operational commands.
With the creation of the theatre commands, their personnel, assets, infrastructure, and logistics would be integrated.
Currently, the Army and the IAF have seven commands each, while the Navy has three.
In addition, there are two tri-service commands — the Andaman and Nicobar Command, and the Strategic Forces Command (SFC).
