Defence Reforms

Why it matters

• Transitioning from a service-specific command structure to integrated theatre commands to optimize resource utilization.
• Streamlining the defence acquisition process to reduce dependency on imports and foster domestic industrial capacity.
• Improving the tooth-to-tail ratio by reallocating personnel from non-combat administrative roles to frontline operational duties.
• Enhancing jointness and interoperability between the Army, Navy, and Air Force to address contemporary multi-domain warfare challenges.

How it is asked

Focus on the structural shift towards integrated commands, the role of the Department of Military Affairs in policy coordination, and the impact of indigenization policies on national security and fiscal management.
