Why not the Chairman – COSC for instance from the accounts service, forest service, secretariat service or even from administrative service? In any case these cadres under the umbrella of MoD are already in a manner of speaking “running” the services. The Hon SC judgment on Rank Pay itself was amended by the IDAS boss and handed down to MoD for “implementation”. Such powerful cadres may also be considered for the exalted position. Then what about the claim of Shivshankar Menon the NSA who acts as the Super Chief between the services and the PM?Sathyenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-44286352595663054942013-12-02T05:39:00.027-08:002013-12-02T05:39:00.027-08:00Long time in coming but finally it may be here.

He may be a four star but he is NEEDED. <br /><br />As far as Indian Air Force is concerned, it gets misguided during turf wars. It has no expertise of doing LRMR/ASW or MRMR/ASW or CASR in the sea. Neither it has any role in using attack helicopters or even medium transport helicopters for supporting ground campaign. It should focus on what it does best - strategic interdiction, air dominance, space dominance, fixed wing air transport and AEW&C. But instead, all the time it tries to gobble up anything that flies. Its high time it gave up its entire helicopter fleet to Army except CASR ones. In addition, those Jaguars with anti-ship missiles on west coast would need to go to Navy. <br /><br />Hope it happens and all military branches stop singing their distinct tunes. And please tell these commanders to start corps level tri-service exercises. <br /><br />Wake up commanders!!!A Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-46476803944963367252013-12-01T21:25:14.199-08:002013-12-01T21:25:14.199-08:00I find it astounding that the first comment on thi...I find it astounding that the first comment on this development panders to parochial mindsets!
