Complement CAPSS for selecting a book of topical relevance (see USNIP of June 26👇). “Learning War” traces roots, in US Navy (circa 1898-1945), of much innovation that we take for granted today; highlighting importance of PME, wargaming & feedback in doctrinal evolution.
🎙️As part of #WASP, Adm Arun Prakash @arunp2810 (Retd), former Chief of the Naval Staff discussed the book “Learning War: The Evolution of Fighting Doctrine in the US Navy 1898-1945”. 🎙️The participants had a rich & engaging session filled with deep insights shared by the Admiral. 🎙️The discussion dissected the role played by Professional Military Education (#PME) in transforming the military using the US Naval War College as a case study since the time of Mahan. @IAF_MCC @indiannavy @nmfindia

Excellent piece- terrific research. A National Security Strategy may pave the way for greater debate on Roles and Missions. Also, expecting the Cab Sec to get into the nitty gritties of roles and mission is a tall order.
🚨Publication Alert🚨 🗣️Theaterisation of Indian military is moving forward. 💭 But jointness cannot rest only on new command structures. It also needs clarity on roles, missions, duplication and capability overlap to achieve true optimisation. In the latest #ExpertView, Wg Cdr Dhruv Shukla looks at why we need #reforms at the apex level to avoid costly duplication of capabilities and overlapping missions.
