India's restructuring of its armed forces into Theatre
Commands appears to be moving forward. It is believed that three commands will
be created — an Eastern Command to defend against China; a Western Command to
defend against Pakistan, and a Maritime Command to cover the Western and
Eastern coasts. However, it may be counterintuitive to have a single Theatre
command to cover such a vast area, and the command structure of the Theatre
commands needs to be carefully thought out.
