New Delhi, April 4 – Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan visited strategically important areas under the Chinar Corps in Srinagar on Saturday and reviewed the security situation and operational posture along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, an official said.
He commended the formation's exemplary operational preparedness, doctrinal coherence, and resolute professionalism, and urged all ranks to maintain operational excellence, embrace jointness as a way of life, and remain prepared to dominate the full spectrum of future conflicts.
At Baramulla, General Chauhan was briefed on Future Force Application and Technology Infusion, an official statement said.
In his address to the officers of the Chinar Corps, General Chauhan highlighted that the character of warfare is undergoing profound transformation, necessitating a shift from a Domain-Centric Approach to Multi-Domain Operations (MDO), underpinned by a robust and integrated architecture.
He underscored the centrality of jointness, stressing that seamless integration across land, air, maritime, cyber, space, and cognitive domains is indispensable for achieving decisive outcomes.
General Chauhan called for accelerated joint training for futuristic warfare, harmonization of doctrines, and the development of interoperable command and control structures to enable synchronized effects across all domains.
The CDS emphasised the need for a deliberate roadmap to counter emerging challenges – one that fosters technological adaptation, cognitive resilience, and collective preparedness through integrated efforts.
General Chauhan reiterated that preparation for the threats envisaged must be anchored in foresight, innovation, a unified warfighting philosophy, and a Whole of a Nation effort.
He highlighted the importance of operational readiness and resilience in the face of evolving security challenges.
He also interacted with representatives of the civil administration, eminent personalities, and functionaries in Baramulla and reviewed the efforts towards nation-building.
