The Indian Army on Wednesday carried out one of its biggest organisational reforms in recent decades by raising five Integrated Battle Groups (IBGs) and one dedicated Fire Support Group (FSG), TOI reported. Six major generals have taken charge of the newly created formations, which are intended to enable faster, leaner and more decisive military responses.
The move marks the first large-scale implementation of the Integrated Battle Group concept, which aims to replace lengthy mobilisation procedures with integrated, mission-ready combat formations capable of responding to threats at short notice.
