Study Notes
Jointness and Coordination
- Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force will jointly determine operational plans for defending the nation and prosecuting conflict
- Indian Coast Guard will function under operational control of the Indian Navy during conflict
- Jointness and coordination will be enabled by networking, joint operational planning, joint training and exercises, and common Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
Operational Tempo
- Conduct of rapid, synergized operations with high operational tempo is an important feature of warfighting
- High operational tempo will increase the speed of the IDA cycle, aid in challenging and disrupting the adversary's IDA cycle, and generate a favourable asymmetry
- It will facilitate control over the conflict in time, space, or scale, and enable management of escalation on our terms
Operational Actions
- Characterize the way in which the Indian Navy will prosecute conflict
- Aimed at maintaining, enhancing, and exploiting freedom of action to attain desired objectives
- Operational actions include projection of force, coastal defence, sea control, sea denial, SLOC protection, information warfare, and escalation management
