THE 13th edition of the India-Italy Military Cooperation Group (MCG) meeting was successfully organised on March 20 and 21 in Rome, the Ministry of Defence said on Saturday.
THE Indian military establishment has raised a new group as part of a structural reorganisation exercise to keep an eye on the new technologies across the globe. "The Future Analysis and Operations Group (FAOG) has been created as part of the Headquarters (HQ) Integrated Defence Staff with a dedicated manpower," said a source in the Ministry of Defence.
The HQ IDS works as a point organisation for jointmanship in the MoD which integrates policy, doctrine, war fighting and procurement of arms and equipment. "The stimulus for FAOG, under the reorganisation exercise, are the changes in warfare and lessons drawn from the recent wars like the Russia-Ukraine, Hamas-Israel, Azerbaijan-Armenia, etc, and a structure was created having the direction to recommend," the source said.
