The Statesman
|September 19, 2025
A day after the announcement to set up three joint military stations, a senior official confirmed that the locations will be selected in areas where the Army, Navy, and Air Force can be co-located and function jointly.
The landmark decision was taken during the recently concluded Combined Commanders' Conference 2025, at the Eastern Command headquarters at Vijay Durg, formerly known as Fort Williams, in Kolkata. The three Joint Military Stations would help in further strengthening coordination and operational efficiency among the services.
Speaking with The Statesman, the officer said that while the specific locations are yet to be decided, the stations will be identified in areas where the Army, Navy, and Air Force can operate together, advancing the goal of jointness and integration among the three services.
