India Announces Rules for Tri-Service Military Commanders
The Indian government has created new rules to help the Army, Navy, and Air Force work better together.
These rules give more power to the military commanders who oversee all three services, making it easier for them to make decisions and manage their personnel.
These rules are based on a law passed in 2023 and are designed to improve how the different parts of the military work together.
This should help the armed forces to work more efficiently and save money.
Government has notified new rules for tri-Service commanders.
The rules empower military commanders with administrative and disciplinary powers.
These rules were formulated under the Inter-Services Organisations (Command, Control and Discipline) Act, 2023.
The Act came into force on May 10 last year.
The aim is to strengthen jointness among the armed forces.
