Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan on Thursday formally released the declassified versions of the Joint Doctrines for Cyberspace Operations and Amphibious Operations during the Chiefs of Staff Committee meeting.
The Joint Doctrine for Cyberspace Operations outlines a unified approach to defend national cyberspace interests, integrating offensive and defensive cyber capabilities and enabling synchronised operations across the three Services. It emphasises threat-informed planning, resilience building, real-time intelligence integration and development of joint cyber capabilities, the Ministry of Defence said in a statement.
In the preface to the document, the CDS said the doctrine lays emphasis on understanding military aspects of cyberspace operations and provides conceptual guidance for optimal exploitation of this domain. He said that this is a living document which will evolve with time and capability development.
Operation oriented
The purpose of this doctrine is to offer guidance to commanders, staff and practitioners in the planning and conduct of operations in cyberspace, as also to raise awareness in our war fighters at all levels, he wrote.
The doctrine also defines the framework for planning and executing amphibious operations by integrating maritime, air and land forces. It stresses interoperability, rapid response capability and joint force application to influence operations ashore, the Ministry stated.
The CDS has initiated development of numerous new doctrines/primers covering contemporary as well as niche areas of war-fighting such as military space operations, special forces operations, airborne/heliborne operations, integrated logistics, multi-domain operations.
These doctrines will provide stakeholders and policy makers with a common lexicon and guidelines for effective planning & smooth execution of joint military operations.
