📘 Sharp Scope | Forging Tri-Services Synergy: The Evolution of Integrated Defence from Fragmentation to Unified Command in India | June 2025 🇮🇳

Dear Reader,

In this edition of Sharp Scope, Viswapramod C and Dhruv Ashok trace India’s journey from fragmented defence structures post-1947 to the current push for integrated theatre commands. It highlights key reforms like the creation of the CDS, the Inter-Services Organisation (ISO) Act, and the vision for jointness through integrated commands.

The brief examines examples like Operation Sindhoor and proposes further steps, such as establishing a Joint Intelligence Theatre Command and a Diplomatic Advisory Council to drive synergy in India’s defence architecture.
