To enlighten yourself with the Operational strategy of Indian Army, you need to know the mechanism of the body managing the most crucial aspect of Security.
Indian Army has 6 operational commands and one training command. Each one is headed by a General-Officer-Commander-in-Chief(GOC-i-C) known as the Army Commander, who is among the senior-most Lieutenant Generals in the army:

• Corps: A command generally consists of two or more corps. Indian Army has 13 Corps each one commanded by a General Officer Commander(GOC), known as the Corps Commander, who holds the rank of Lieutenant General. Each corps is composed of 3 or 4 Divisions. There are three types of corps in the Indian Army: Strike, Holding and Mixed. The Corps HQ is the highest field formation in the army.

• Division: Each Division is headed by GOC(Division Commander) in the rank of Major General. It usually consists of 3-4 Brigades. Currently, the Indian Army has 37 Divisions including four RAPIDs (Reorganised Army Plains Infantry Division), 18 Infantry Divisions, 10 Mountain Divisions, 3 Armoured Divisions and 2 Artillery Divisions.

• Brigade: A Brigade generally consists of around 3,000 combat troops with supporting elements. An Infantry Brigade usually has three Infantry Battalions along with various Support Elements. It is commanded by a brigade commander who is a Brigadier. In addition to the Brigades in various Army Divisions, the Indian Army also has five Independent Armoured Brigades, 15 Independent Artillery Brigades, 7 Independent Infantry Brigades, 1 Independent Parachute Brigade, 3 Independent Air Defence Brigades, 2 Independent Air Defence Groups and 4 Independent Engineer Brigades. These Independent Brigades operate directly under the Corps Commander (GOC Corps).

• Battalion: Composed of 4 rifle companies. Commanded by a battalion commander who is a Colonel and is the Infantry's main fighting unit. Every infantry battalion also possesses one Ghatak Platoon.

• Company: Composed of 3 platoons. Commanded by a Company Commander who is a Major or Lieutenant Colonel.

• Platoon: Composed of 3 sections.Commanded by a Platoon Commander who is a JCO.

• Section: Smallest military outfit with a strength of 10 personnel. Commanded by a Section Commander of the rank of Havaldar.

There's more to it and it's all because of the Micro-management practiced by our Defence department.

Thus, to offer a Tribute to the Indian Armed Forces, Atharva Foundation is proudly organizing an event on 31st January 2018 at NSCI Dome Worli, Mumbai.
I personally invite you to avail your presence if you are in India & feel proud of the Defence that India is blessed with.
