Cds of india

The sudden and tragic demise of General Bipin Rawat, Chief of Defence Staff or CDS, on Wednesday, has left a vacuum at the highest levels of India's military hierarchy. Army chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane now becomes the senior-most military officer in the country after Gen Rawat's passing. As there is no immediate line of succession envisaged for the CDS, Gen Naravane could be the frontrunner for the position of the next CDS by the principles of seniority. Gen Rawat became the first CDS on January 1, 2020, and was the 27th Army Chief. Gen Naravane took over as the 28th Army chief from Gen Rawat in December 2019. He is tenured as the Army Chief till April 2022. The position of CDS includes Secretary of the Department of Military Affairs in the Defence Ministry, permanent Chairman Chiefs of Staff Committee, and the Principal Advisor to the Defence Minister. CDS includes bringing about "jointness" in operations, logistics, transport, training, support services, communications, repairs and maintenance of the three Services within three years of the first CDS assuming office. As the first CDS, Gen Rawat worked between the three Services on integrated theatre commands to reorganise the Indian armed forces and bring them to a consensus. Gen Rawat had constituted teams headed by the Vice Chiefs of three services to study and submit recommendations on the formation of various commands. Gen Rawat had set out an ambitious plan to roll out the theatre commands, which has been le...

Three months after the sudden demise of the country's first chief of defence staff General Bipin Rawat, the Union government is yet to announce the next CDS. Army Chief General M.M. Naravane is the senior-most among the three service chiefs, while both the Navy and Indian Air Force have recently got their respective chiefs. Chief of the Indian Air Force Air Chief Marshal V.R. Choudhary and Navy Chief Admiral R. Hari Kumar assumed office on September 30 and November 30 respectively. This makes Gen Naravane the front-runner to the CDS post as he is retiring by the end of April 2022. Besides, Gen Naravane, former air force chief Air Chief Marshal R.K.S. Bhadauria is also seen as the possible contender for the post of country's topmost military man, as he made sincere efforts to iron out the differences among the services over creation of the planned threatre commands for the Indian military. Soon after taking over as CDS, Gen Rawat had started brainstorming on how to streamline coordination between the Army, the Navy and the Air Force. A few months later, he began to prepare for India’s biggest-ever military reform—reorganising the forces into theatre commands (like in the US and China) for synchronised operations in future wars. Gen Rawat planned to have five such main commands—northern, western, peninsular, air defence and maritime—by the end of 2022. On December 8 last year, Gen Rawat, his wife Madhulika and 12 others died in a helicopter crash near Coonoor in Tamil Nadu. ...
