The Indian Navy has recently held an important meeting regarding the formation of the Maritime Theater Command.
Representatives of the Indian Army and Air Force were involved in the meeting regarding its formation. The meeting was chaired by Vice Admiral Ajayendra Bahadur Singh, Commander and Western Navy.
It is worth noting that from the Indian Army, Lt Gen YK Dimri, the Central Army Commander, has been entrusted with the task of studying the formation of this command along with South-West Army Commander Lt Gen Amardeep Singh Bhinder.
To deal with the future security challenges in India, coordination between the three services (Army, Air Force and Navy) will be vital.
A theater command is very useful for maintaining coordination between the three armies in times of war. For example, a theater command for the Army, which is headed by an Army soldier, and the Air Force-Navy acts as an ally to this command.
Similarly, in a Maritime Theater Command, the Navy will be the main leader of the war and will be supported by the Army and Air Force.
The advantage of creating a definite theater command is that the strategies made from here make it easier to strike the enemy with precision. At present, there are about 15 lakh armed forces in the country. Theater command is needed to organize and unite these.
It is believed that AB Singh is the most senior officer of the Navy and he will get the responsibility of Maritime Theater Command.
