One lakh soldiers to be reduced from Indian Army, officials gave information to parliamentary committee

As part of efforts to change the appearance of the Indian Army, preparations are being made to shorten the logistic tail of the Army.  Under this, there will be a decrease in the number of soldiers engaged in supply and support with the army’s contingents.  The army has set a target of reducing about one lakh soldiers within the next three-four years.
 Top Army officials have recently given this information to the Parliamentary Committee attached to the Ministry of Defense.  It says that the focus is on combat troops (infantry).  They will be equipped with modern technology.  Because they have the responsibility of protecting the borders.  They will be provided with state-of-the-art technologies and reduced in ‘tooth to tail ratio’.
 This means that the number of soldiers engaged in supply and support work will be reduced.  Actually, there is still a certain number of supply and support teams with the fighters of the jawans.  Which ensures availability of all resources.  But in the manner in which the use of state-of-the-art techniques is increasing in the army, this type of system is now being considered as essential.
 80 people can do 120 people work An example was explained to the Parliamentary Committee that an army combat company currently consists of 120 people.  But if this company is equipped with technology, then 80 people can do the same work, in which 120 people are still doing it.
 Money can be spent in equipping soldiers with technology On behalf of the Army, it has been said that when General VP Malik was the Chief of Army, there was a reduction of 50 thousand people, but now one lakh people can be reduced in the next three-four years.  The amount left from this will be spent in equipping the soldiers with technology.  This report of the committee has been tabled in the Parliament during the recently concluded session.
