    • ENGLISH ANALYSIS
  • Sun Tzu's famous lesson that knowing both the enemy and yourself is crucial in winning battles, holds true now, insofar as an assessment of PME in Indian armed forces is concerned (PME - Professional Military Education)
  • How to know the adversary and yourself? (i) first ather information on both, (ii) distil it into knowledge, and (iii) recommend options for decision-makers
  • If leadership is pragmatic, it will seek advice from knowledgeable people
  • Today, the govt. is advised by the NSCS (National Security Council Secretariat), NSAB (National Security Advisory Board) and NITI Aayog
  • Sadly, the three arms of defence forces have not been represented at senior advisory levels in NSCS and NSAB
  • The author attended training programmes abroad, and observed that theorists and practitioners from various fields were brought together to train junior professionals comprehensively (those junior go on to hold operational and strategic positions, later)
  • Many have devoted their entire lives to just studying one field, nothing else, becoming the last word of expertise
  • Even very senior officers (e.g. Colonel John Warden who designed the air campaign in Operation Desert Storm against Iraq in 1991) turn into academicians finally
  • In India, the PME instructors are service officers posted from field/staff appointments who come in for 2/3 years and move on (there is no time to become an expert)
  • Guest lectures are in abundance but they are no substitute for expertise
  • But change is coming - Experts are being called in for longer durations, and retired officers are being used as mentors for specialised areas of learning
  • Permanent chairs for subject matter experts are now needed in the Defence Services Staff College, to teach military history, strategy, geo-politics etc.
  • This joint institution must have a Commandant who is a reputed scholar, who can also be from Air force or Navy (and not just the Army)
  • The Indian Defence University (IDU) project is languishing since 2013, which was supposed to have all tri-Service institutions (including the NDA) under its tutelage
  • In parallel, the Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU) has been set up in Gujarat and the goal is to have all scolls for Air, Space, Navy, Army under it
  • Finally, the topmost policy advisory tier (NSAB and NSCS) must have sound academic experts and military professionals from all three services
  • The national political leadership needs the best advice, and support, in this time of changing international relationships and rapidly advancing technology

    • HINDI ANALYSIS
  • चीनी विचारक सन त्ज़ु का प्रसिद्ध सबक कि लड़ाई जीतने में दुश्मन और खुद दोनों को जानना महत्वपूर्ण है, काफी सच है, जहां तक ​​भारतीय सशस्त्र बलों में पीएमई के आकलन का संबंध है (पीएमई - व्यावसायिक सैन्य शिक्षा)
  • विरोधी और स्वयं को कैसे जानें? (i) पहले दोनों के बारे में जानकारी, (ii) इसे ज्ञान में परिवर्तित करना, और (iii) निर्णय लेने वालों के लिए विकल्पों की सिफारिश करना
  • यदि नेतृत्व व्यावहारिक है, तो वह जानकार लोगों से सलाह लेगा
  • आज, सरकार को NSCS (राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा परिषद सचिवालय), NSAB (राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा सलाहकार बोर्ड) और नीति आयोग द्वारा सलाह दी जाती है
  • अफसोस की बात है कि एनएससीएस और एनएसएबी में वरिष्ठ सलाहकार स्तरों पर रक्षा बलों के तीनों अंगों का प्रतिनिधित्व नहीं किया गया है
  • लेखक ने विदेशों में प्रशिक्षण कार्यक्रमों में भाग लिया, और देखा कि विभिन्न क्षेत्रों के सिद्धांतकारों और चिकित्सकों को कनिष्ठ पेशेवरों को व्यापक रूप से प्रशिक्षित करने के लिए एक साथ लाया गया था (वे कनिष्ठ बाद में परिचालन और रणनीतिक पदों पर रहते हैं)
  • कई लोगों ने अपना पूरा जीवन सिर्फ एक क्षेत्र का अध्ययन करने के लिए समर्पित कर दिया है, और कुछ नहीं, विशेषज्ञता का अंतिम शब्द बन गया है
  • यहां तक ​​​​कि बहुत वरिष्ठ अधिकारी (जैसे कर्नल जॉन वार्डन जिन्होंने 1991 में इराक के खिलाफ ऑपरेशन डेजर्ट स्टॉर्म में हवाई अभियान तैयार किया था) अंततः शिक्षाविदों में बदल जाते हैं
  • भारत में, पीएमई प्रशिक्षक फील्ड/स्टाफ नियुक्तियों से तैनात सेवा अधिकारी होते हैं जो 2/3 वर्षों के लिए आते हैं और आगे बढ़ते हैं (विशेषज्ञ बनने का कोई समय नहीं है)
  • अतिथि व्याख्यान बहुतायत में हैं लेकिन वे विशेषज्ञता का विकल्प नहीं हैं
  • लेकिन बदलाव आ रहा है - विशेषज्ञों को लंबी अवधि के लिए बुलाया जा रहा है, और सेवानिवृत्त अधिकारियों को सीखने के विशेष क्षेत्रों के लिए सलाहकार के रूप में इस्तेमाल किया जा रहा है।
  • सैन्य इतिहास, रणनीति, भू-राजनीति आदि सिखाने के लिए अब रक्षा सेवा स्टाफ कॉलेज में विषय विशेषज्ञों के लिए स्थायी कुर्सियों की आवश्यकता है।
  • इस संयुक्त संस्थान में एक कमांडेंट होना चाहिए जो एक प्रतिष्ठित विद्वान हो, जो वायु सेना या नौसेना से भी हो सकता है (और केवल सेना ही नहीं)
  • भारतीय रक्षा विश्वविद्यालय (आईडीयू) परियोजना 2013 से लटकी हुई है, जिसके संरक्षण में सभी त्रि-सेवा संस्थान (एनडीए सहित) होना चाहिए था।
  • समानांतर में, गुजरात में राष्ट्रीय रक्षा विश्वविद्यालय (आरआरयू) की स्थापना की गई है और इसके तहत वायु, अंतरिक्ष, नौसेना, सेना के लिए सभी स्कॉल का लक्ष्य है
  • अंत में, सर्वोच्च नीति सलाहकार स्तर (एनएसएबी और एनएससीएस) में तीनों सेवाओं के अच्छे अकादमिक विशेषज्ञ और सैन्य पेशेवर होने चाहिए
  • बदलते अंतरराष्ट्रीय संबंधों और तेजी से आगे बढ़ रही प्रौद्योगिकी के इस समय में राष्ट्रीय राजनीतिक नेतृत्व को सर्वोत्तम सलाह और समर्थन की आवश्यकता है
