Army to form 'Rudra' all-arms brigade integrating multiple fighting units
Rudra brigade includes infantry, mechanised infantry, armour, artillery
New 'Bhairav' Light Commando Battalions created for border operations
The Indian Army is going to set up an "all-arms brigade" which will be known as "Rudra" under which fighting components like the infantry, mechanised infantry, armoured units, artillery, special forces, and unmanned aerial systems have been integrated, Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi announced on the occasion of the 26th Kargil Vijay Diwas on Saturday.
Two of the Army's infantry brigades deployed in border areas have already been converted into Rudra, which will receive specially prepared logistics support and combat support.
Indian Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi announced the new ‘all-arms brigades’ called ‘Rudra’ on Kargil Vijay Diwas.
He said the army is aiming to evolve into a ‘future-oriented force’ through the creation of these integrated brigades and stronger special forces units. During his address, he also announced three new initiatives to pay tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives in the Kargil war with Pakistan.
He said the army is working towards becoming a “future-oriented force” by setting up these all-arms brigades and powerful special forces units.
The projects to honour martyred soldiers include an ’e-shradhanjali’ app dedicated to martyrs, a QR code-based audio feature that shares Kargil war stories, and the ‘Indus Viewpoint’, which will let visitors explore the Batalik sector near the LoC to understand how soldiers live there.
“Today’s Indian Army is not only successfully addressing current challenges but is also rapidly advancing as a transformative, modern, and future-oriented force.
Under this, new all-arms brigades named ‘Rudra’ are being formed, and I approved it yesterday,” he said during the 26th Kargil Vijay Diwas ceremony at Dras in Kargil.
