The New Indian Express Shivamogga
|September 01, 2025
INDIA's newly released Joint Doctrine on Special Forces (JDSF), unveiled by Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan, sets forth guiding principles, operational strategies, common understanding and frameworks for enhanced interoperability and synergy among the commandos of the three services (the army's Para SF, the navy's Marine Commandos and IAF's Garuds).
The JDSF enumerates high-impact missions for India's Special Forces, ranging from capturing enemy commanders, rescuing prisoners of war and executing air ambushes near enemy airfields, to disrupting enemy command systems and targeting high-value assets to cripple enemy economies. The doctrine was unveiled during the Ran Samvad military conclave in Indore last week.
