Theatre commands need more than new chain of command, says writer
A ThePrint subscriber column by Siddharth Roy argues India's theatreisation reform requires more than organisational restructuring. It notes General N.S. Raja Subramani assumed charge as Chief of Defence Staff and Secretary, Department of Military Affairs, on May 31, 2026. The piece says interoperability, integrated logistics, joint training, resilient infrastructure and institutional clarity must develop alongside new structures. It cites Joint Logistics Nodes at Mumbai, Guwahati and Port Blair, and the Inter-Services Organisations Act, 2023, in force from 2024.
