The Inter-Services Organisations (Command, Control and Discipline) Act has been notified by the Indian government. This Act will pave the way for the creation of unified theatre commands, marking the most radical military reorganization since Independence. The Act received presidential assent on August 15 last year 2023 and was passed by Parliament during the monsoon session. The enforcement of the ISO Act comes after the BJP manifesto promised to establish military theatre commands for more efficient operations, following the creation of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) post in December 2019. CDS General Anil Chauhan chaired a “Parivartan Chintan” where 12 sub-committees made presentations on different domains and aspects towards jointness and integration, in light of the imminent theaterisation.
