BEGINNING END JULY.
The Indian Army will undergo major restructuring, which will begin as GOI approval for reorganization of the Indian Army Headquarters (AHQ) has already been given and expected to begin by this month-end July.
The AHQ restructuring is the first of the four studies being undertaken as part of the transformation of the force.
The Government has already given in-principle approval for the AHQ restructuring, to identify and to operationally utilize the available space.
A new Deputy Chief (Sustenance) is going to look after all procurement,”under the plan. The Master-General Ordnance will report to the Deputy Chief to bring all ammunition under one head.
The Army now has two Deputy Chiefs, one for Information Systems and Training and the other for Planning and Systems.
These functions are being brought under one authority to avoid overlapping .
In another major change at the AHQ, the Directorates of Military Operations, Military Intelligence and Operational Logistics will report to the Deputy Chief (Strategy). The Perspective Planning Directorate will also report to this Deputy Chief.
The third Deputy Chief, Information Systems, will look after all technology and Cyber-Related Issues.
A new post of Additional Director-General (ADG), Vigilance, is being created, and he will report to the Army chief.
The four studies ordered by Army chief Gen Bipin Rawat are restructuring of the AHQ; the Army Restructuring which includes Creation of Integrated Battle Groups (IBG); The cadre review of Officers; and Review of the Terms and Conditions of Junior Commissioned Officers and Other Ranks.
The aim is a Holistic Integration to Enhance the Operational and Functional Efficiency, Optimize Budget Expenditure, Facilitate Force Modernization and address Aspirations in the Army.
The creation of new post of ADG Vigilance , is to ensure and Implement Information, of all Investigations which generally happen locally in the Indian Army. This will Standardize the Nature of Punishment, make available Record and Feedback, when being promoted.
There will also be a new Post of ADG, Human Resources, who “shall take Proactive Action on HR violations.”
In the Quartermaster General (QMG) branch, the post of ADG Technology Evaluation, is to be abolished and now the Chief Engineers in Formations will be responsible for constructions in their area, and not the Army Headquarters, as practiced presently, as AHQ cannot look into/monitor every construction that is happening all over Cantt & Military Stations in India.
The entire Training Function will move under the Army Training Command (ARTRAC), which will be shifted from Shimla to Meerut.
The Director-General, Rashtriya Rifles (RR), now based in Delhi, will be moved to Udhampur, under an Additional Director-General (ADG), where the Northern Command is located.
