Acquire Capabilities of Men And Machines

Reports appearing in the print and electronic media point to an apparent change in the thinking of the current senior military leadership from that of the past. In the past, the military leadership conscientiously kept itself engaged with core responsibility as well as competence of a military professional – preparing perspective plans and making prioritise equipment procurement projections to meet the anticipated military threats and challenges in a time-bound manner without being encumbered with budgetary considerations. The approach being adopted now appears to be to tailor projections within a budgetary framework. This could make the military vulnerable to criticism for failing to make projections in the event of a military adversity.
