Addressing a seminar, he also called for focusing on operational logistics to deal with various security challenges and quoted famous military strategist Sun Tzu as saying very aptly that "the line between disorder and order lies in logistics."

"In the force, space, and time continuum, there would be a need for us to prepare for short swift wars as well as be ready for a long drawn standoff akin to what we are seeing in eastern Ladakh," he said.
