NEW DELHI, Jul 25: Asserting that Operation Sindoor \u201cstill continues\u201d, Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan on Friday said the country\u2019s military preparedness must remain at a \u201cvery high\u201d level, round-the-clock and throughout the year.
\nIn his address at a defence seminar hosted at Subroto Park in New Delhi, he also said the military in future will also need \u201cinformation warriors, technology warriors and scholar warriors.\u201d And, in a merging landscape of warfare, a future soldier will need to be a mix of all three \u201cinfo, tech and scholar warriors,\u201d the CDS said.
\nThe seminar on \u2018Aerospace Power: Preserving India\u2019s Sovereignty and Furthering National Interests\u2019 was held under the aegis of the \u2018No.4 Warfare and Aerospace Strategy Programme\u2019.
\nThe CDS said there are no runners-up in a war, and any military must be constantly alert and maintain a high degree of operational preparedness.
\n\u201cAn example is Operation Sindoor, which still continues. Our preparedness level has to be very high, 24\u00d77, 365 days (a year),\u201d Gen Chauhan said.
\nIndia launched Operation Sindoor early on May 7 and decimated multiple terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).
\nPakistan also launched offensives against India, and all subsequent counter-offensives by India were also carried out under Operation Sindoor.
\nThe military conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours halted after they reached an understanding on the evening of May 10.
\nThe CDS also emphasised the importance of learning about both \u2018Shastra\u2019 (warfare) and \u2018Shaastra\u2019 (knowledge system). (Agencies)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
