General Dalbir Singh
#COAS
In his address on culmination of the Army Commanders Conference on 18
October 2014, the Chief of Army Staff, Gen Dalbir Singh complemented the
Northern & Western Commands on their exemplary response to the
flood disaster in Jammu & Kashmir which witnessed spontaneous
mobilisation of Army resources, both manpower & equipment, without
waiting for any formal requisition. He lauded the selfless commitment
of the Indian soldiers involved in the relief & rescue efforts, who
never once turned back to look at their posts & families that had
suffered equally in the floods.
While addressing the external security concerns he advised the
commanders to continuously assess the situation in the sub-continent
with respect to the force & security transition taking place and its
concomitant effect on the Nation’s security. On the internal security
plane, he stressed on the need to maintain relentless pressure in Jammu
& Kashmir so that the terrorists could not carry out any meaningful
operations to interrupt the forthcoming elections. He also expressed
satisfaction on the situation in North East and stressed upon all
stakeholders to be made part of the conflict resolution mechanism.
On the modernization front, the COAS informed all of the continued support of the Raksha Mantri and commitment of the MoD towards fulfilling the Army’s requirements. He also exhorted all to streamline and refine in house procedures aimed at preserving and enhancing the life of all service equipment.
The COAS expressed hope that the measures being planned to address the issue of shortage in officer cadre would fructify at the earliest. He also expressed concern on the isolated issues of unethical behaviour and directed zero tolerance towards them.
The COAS asked all to stay committed towards the welfare of the veterans who were the bedrock of the Army and applauded the recent initiatives including the functioning of ECHS. Lastly the COAS stated that even under the most modern methods of war fighting, our Army should not forget that the human dimension would always remain the biggest battle winning factor. Hence the focus must remain on training, equipping & character development of the soldier to ensure that our Army remains a modern, potent & combat ready force.
The Chief culminated his talk with his desire that the ‘Indian Army must remain the pride of the nation’.
