Talking about the lessons learned from the operation, the COAS underlined three main points; integration between forces, ensuring proper supplies for a long drawn out battle, and also ensuring decisions are taken at every level of the command chain.
“Whenever some operation happened we learn from it, this time too we learned things. One of the things we learned was that the decision we have very less time to take any decision, and take a decision at every level on time,” he said.
On intergration between armed forces, the COAS said, “Another thing is integration, which means that all forces, whether Army, Navy, Air Force, CAPF, anyone else need to have good integration, because today’s battles are multi-domain. Just the army cannot fight a battle, everyone has to fight together…So many things have been mixed together.”
He also mentioned how India needs to ensure that proper supplies for food, and ammunition are maintained for even long drawn out battles, even for as long as four years if need be.
