Soldiers To Get New Clothing For Super High Altitude Areas

Indian Army High Altitude

Hello, Warriors!

The India Army is planning to upgrade and indigenize the production of winter clothing for its soldiers deployed in “super high-altitude” areas which are being imported from Switzerland, Finland and Norway at high costs as of now, according to news reports.

The government spends almost 1 lakh rupees to provide clothing to a single soldier including ice-axes, shovels, boot crampons, and Stromeyer tents.

Indian jawans took most of the “dominating” glacial heights on the Saltoro Ridge in a daring operation to pre-empt Pakistani soldiers by a whisker in 1984 and has captured the area ever since.

There are eight major clothing items being procured from abroad as of now. At present, specialised clothing for over 27,000 soldiers is obtained for three years at a time.Indian Army High Altitude

The defense ministry was urged to purchase winter clothing for Siachen, Drass, Kargil, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh that have temperatures ranging from minus 10 to 60 degree Celsius, for five years at a time due to the long process and irregularities in the current items being procured from abroad.

Meanwhile, attempts are being made to tap the technology available in India to gradually replace imported winter clothing. Indian Technical Textile Association is also likely to help for this endeavour.

The Indian vendors have already been identified for making the three-layered ECCWS and gloves as well as the four-layered socks. The overall aim is to improve the products further by reducing bulk and weight to ensure soldiers can be more agile and combat-effective while getting higher thermal insulation from the extreme weather.

Just since 1984, India has lost around 900 soldiers on the Siachen heights. But with better infrastructure being built on the glacial heights, where soldiers are taught to “survive first and then fight”, the number of casualties has gone down over the years.

But soldiers still have to battle high-altitude pulmonary odema, cerebral odema, hypothermia, hypoxia and frost-bite in the tough terrain, where avalanches, blizzards and whiteouts are the norm.

Just last week, an Army doctor, Capt Ashwini Kumar, was killed after a patrol got hit by an avalanche in Siachen.

This, for sure, is a big step towards indigenization of Indian Armed Forces, but with the process to clear all legal and official bars, it may take another five to ten years.

Finally, Women To Get Permanent Commission In The Navy

Indian-Navy-Women-Officers

Hello, Warriors!

On September 5th, 2015, the Delhi High Court ruled that women can now have full term service in the Indian Navy and enjoy retirement benefits. Allowing women to get permanent commission in the navy, the court said it would “frown upon any endeavor to block progress of women”.

And now, almost about two and a half months from then, slamming Indian Navy for “gender discrimination” and “unreasonable classification”, the Supreme Court on Friday said it was in favour of permanent commission of women officers in all wings after they complete their short service stints.Indian-Navy-Women-Officers

The apex court’s observation came after hearing an appeal filed by the Navy and Defence Ministry against the Delhi High Court order, asking it to grant permanent commission to 19 women officers in the fields of education, logistics and ATC.

On September 26, 2008, Navy’s rule offered permanent commission to women officers who joined after the date but this was limited only to education, law and naval architecture branches.

Their lawyer Rekha Palli argued on how after using their services for 14 long years, the organisation was throwing them out of service.

Endorsing the argument, a bench headed by justice T S Thakur told Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi, “Once you decide to give a permanent commission, you cannot have a classification. Such discrimination is bad. How is that these women, who once offered their valuable service, are now being considered unproductive, just because they have to be given the benefits of their service?”

As the AG replied that “permanent commission for women SSC officers is something that the law itself bars and such an order would annihilate the functional autonomy of the armed forces”, the judge, referring to the 2008 rule told the AG “the government itself created the problem now you face it”.

The MoD had urged the SC to stay the HC order, saying it “severely affects the operational structure and administrative exigencies in the Indian Navy” and also “result in disturbing the seniority of existing personnel and their promotional avenues”.

It also stressed that this would further cause financial and other constraints on the government and has resulted in the respondents (women officers) being provided with something that the law itself bars.

The Navy maintained that it had not discriminated against women, and that no male officer in the same cadres, who were recruited under the SSC, was offered permanent commission. The Navy has said that the HC nullified its policy without any cogent reason or basis and became a decision-maker for the Indian Navy, which has consistently been avoided by constitutional courts.

But, whatsoever, the women aspirants can now be proud and more motivated to join the Indian Navy as Permanent Commissioned Officers.

army group discussion

Hello, Warriors! With the season of SSBs coming overhead, aspirants are preparing hard to get through it. For some, it might be their umpteenth attempt to clear the SSB and for some, it may be the first. But only the best make it through.

Being an officer is all about possessing the OLQs, of which, one is Ability to Influence – The Ability to Influence through words and speech. It’s the need of the officer commanding to have the public speaking skills to influence the fellow soldiers and lead them to victory; for, words may create peace and initiate war at the same time.

Here I bring you tips on how to approach to speaking in public:

  1. Have a clear message to deliver. It is okay to say “I don’t know” instead of saying anything you really don’t know about.
  1. Your message needs to be short, simple and clear.
  1. Different people have different tastes. Before speaking something, know who your listeners are. Remember, most people like to listen to real examples rather than theories.
  1. Use a stronger voice when it comes to important sentences. Use a lower slow voice when it comes to something sad.army group discussion
  1. Be natural and also keep in mind the cultural differences of the listeners.
  1. It’s a good etiquette to look at everybody and not just one person.
  1. Be flexible! Change your way of speaking, tell jokes which are related to the topic.
  1. Be confident in expressing your ideas. People trust confident speakers.
  1. Be up to date with the current national and international developments. You can always check that out on ssbcrack. We made this easier for you.
  1. Be a good listener. People respect you when you listen to others.
  1. Maintain eye contact with who you are speaking to.
  1. Cultivate a friendly body language. You can read more about it here: https://ssbcrack.com/2014/11/importance-of-body-language-in-public-speaking.html

The best way to learn to be an effective speaker is to speak as often as possible. Remember, mistakes are the best teachers but at the same time, know what you are speaking.

Good luck!

INS Vishwakarma

Hi, Warriors! Shipwright School, a premier technical establishment, and alma-mater for Naval Architect Officers, Shipwright Officers and Shipwright Sailors of the Indian Navy, was commissioned as Indian Naval Ship Vishwakarma. The honors were done by Admiral Robin K Dhowan in Vizag.

The event commenced with an impressive parade which was reviewed by the Chief of Naval Staff. Thereafter, Commodore Ajay Ghule, Commanding Officer (Designate) read out the Commissioning Warrant. The ceremony was solemnised by recitation of an invocation in Sanskrit. This was followed by hoisting of the Naval Ensign and playing of the National Anthem.

With the commissioning of INS Vishwakarma as a full-fledged naval training establishment, the Navy will complete the technical training triad of the Indian Navy comprising Naval Architecture, Marine Engineering and Electrical Engineering.

The Shipwright School was established at INS Shivaji in 1941 for training shipwright artificers. Subsequently, it was shifted to Naval Barracks, Mumbai (now INS Angre) in 1943 and later to the present premises in Visakhapatnam in 1981 as a dedicated training establishment with independent facilities for training of shipwright apprentices.

Over the last seven decades, the school has expanded as the training hub of for Naval Architect Officers.

This will be another training establishment for the Indian Navy apart from the prestigious Indian Naval Academy to train quality officers for the Navy.

The commissioning of INS Vishwakarma would enhance the Navy’s in-house design and maintenance capabilities. This would go a long way in transforming the Indian Navy to a designer’s and builder’s Navy in keeping with the “Make in India” vision.INS Vishwakarma

Emphasis was laid on the quality professional training, the bedrock on which India’s warships, submarines, and aircraft are able to effectively carry out their onerous tasks.

The other training establishments of the navy and their type of training are:

  • INS Agrani – Leadership Training
  • INS Chilka – Sailors Training
  • INS Dronacharya – Gunnery School
  • INS Garuda – Aviation
  • INS Hamla – Logistics Training
  • Institute of Naval Medicine – Medical Corps of the Navy
  • INS Kunjali – Music Training School
  • INS Mandovi – Provost and Physical Training School
  • INS Satavahana – Submarine Training School
  • Naval Institute of Educational and Training Technology – Education Corps of the Navy
  • National Institute of Hydrography
  • INS Shivaji – Engineering Training
  • INS Valsura – Electrical Training

Indian Navy with Defence Minister

Hello, Warriors! In a boost to the Navy’s frontline defence, union defence minister Manohar Parrikar dedicated a Seakeeping and Manoeuvring Basin (SMB) to the Indian Navy at the Naval Science and Technological Laboratory (NSTL) on 14th November, 2015.

SMB facility is one of its kind in the country, set up as a joint effort of DRDO and Indian Navy, the facility puts India among the few nations in the world having the capability to undertake comprehensive hydrodynamic model testing of naval platforms and weapon systems.Indian Navy with Defence Minister

SMB would help to design and build state-of-the-art naval combatants such as submarines, ships, torpedoes, etc.

The Minister also handed over Maareech – Advanced Torpedo Defence System developed by DRDO to the Navy Chief.

‘Maareech’, developed by the Naval Physical & Oceanographic Laboratory (NPOL), Kochi, and NSTL, Vizag in coordination with the Indian Navy, is the best success story of the ‘Make in India’ programme.

Varunastra, a heavy torpedo, designed and developed by the NSTL, has gone through user evaluation trials and a clearance is awaited for its production.

It came as a result of close coordination between DRDO and the Indian Navy which would enhance indigenousness in defence systems.

It is a state-of-the-art indigenous system for torpedo detection and countermeasures. This system offers a complete solution to detect and locate the incoming torpedo and to apply countermeasures to protect naval platform against torpedo attack.

Forty systems have already been procured and are being deployed in the Indian Navy ships.
