Army commanders analysed geostrategic issues such as the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas conflict at a conference which concluded on Friday, aiming to draw out relevant lessons for the Indian military, according to an Army statement.
Deliberations at the Army Commanders Conference also focussed on making Short Service Commissions for officers more attractive, conducting all internal examinations in online mode, and establishing speedy redressal mechanisms for issues faced by veterans.
“Currently, several internal exams like promotion boards and so on are held in physical format for which personnel have to travel from remote areas which takes them away from their duty stations. Going online will save the effort. Similar is the case with Junior Commissioned Officers and other ranks who have several exams for upgradation which they attend in person,” a source explained.
