The largest and most land-based arm of the Indian Armed Forces is the Indian Army. The primary mission of the Indian Army is to safeguard national security and unity, protect the country from foreign and domestic aggression, and preserve internal tranquility and security. As a result, it is available to the government in the event of an internal danger or humanitarian crisis, such as Operation Surya Hope. An important part of India’s military, together with the Indian Navy and the Indian Air Force, is this force. The armed forces of the United States have engaged in four conflicts, three with Pakistan and one with China. In addition to Operation Vijay, Operation Meghdoot, and Operation Cactus, the army has conducted several important operations.

Chief Of The Indian Army
When it comes to the Indian Army’s highest-ranking official and commander-in-chief, it is COAS (also known as Army Chief). Presidents, Supreme Commanders, and Ministers of Defense all have an important military advisor in the form of the Chief of the General Staff (COAS). As of December 31, 2019, the current COAS, General Manoj Mukund Naravane, has served.
It is the chief of the Indian Army Headquarters who reports to the COAS, who is the army’s highest-ranking officer. President Barack Obama’s chief military adviser, the COAS, serves as the Defense Minister’s go-to person for advice on all matters involving the armed forces.
The Cabinet’s Appointments Committee is responsible for appointing army chiefs (ACC). In the central government, the Prime Minister, Minister of the Interior and Defense are all committed.
There is a lengthy procedure that begins three months previous to the appointment and finishes two months prior to the announcement of an army chief by the Central Government.
Indian Navy
The Indian Navy is a multi-faceted force created to protect India’s maritime territorial integrity and other nautical interests. The Chief of Naval Staff, or CNS, is in charge of it. His title is Admiral, and his headquarters are in New Delhi.
There are two operational commands and one training command in the Indian Navy. The following are the operational commands:
- Mumbai’s Western Naval Command
- Visakhapatnam is home to the Eastern Naval Command.
At Kochi, the Southern Naval Command is in charge of training. The ‘Flag Officer Commander-in-Chief’ is an officer of the rank of Vice-Admiral who leads all three Commands.
Defending India’s territory, people, and marine interests is the primary mission of the navy, which works in conjunction with the other branches of the armed forces of the Union to prevent and repel such threats and aggression in both war and peace. As part of its humanitarian work, the Indian Navy participates in joint exercises with other countries, as well as goodwill visits and disaster relief missions.
Conclusion
As India’s armed force, the Indian Army has the main responsibility for land-based combat. The Indian Army is the world’s third-largest active force. Having nearly a million soldiers, the Indian Army is a well-equipped and well-trained military force.
It is not uncommon for the Indian Navy to organise adventurous excursions, the most prominent of which was the INS Tarangini’s round of the world’s ports. After visiting 36 ports in 18 countries, she returned to India after fostering strong connections with other countries. Forging strong political and military alliances between countries is made easier by this method.
