10 Things You Must Know About COMCASA

0
COMCASA CURRENT AFFAIRS

Official visits of the national leaders, meetings, and negotiations have brought the landmark contributions in the position of India in the world. Increasing friendly terms of India with the developed countries like US has resulted into the strategic involvements of both nations in various fields such as co-operation in defence, security, anti-terrorism, economic development and much more due to end of the cold war era, an opening of the Indian economy and the most important strong Indian Diaspora. The bilateral relations between two nation has emerged into “global strategic partnership” as a result of similar interest convergence related to the regional and global issues. The strengthening can also be attributed to the democratic values the two countries shares as well as India’s relation with its neighbouring countries like China and Pakistan that has prompted USA to come in support of India as evident from US support for India’s permanent membership of the UN security council.

The engagement of the nations in the 2+2 dialogue can be seen as the extent of convergence between two countries that reflects the recognition of India as one of the “major defence partners” by the US. Following this, a number of agreements has been inked by two nations facilitating the technology transfer more easy and secure. Amid this increasing bond some of the major agreements have been signed under the ambit of “foundational agreements” established with the defence partners of US, involves GSOMIA (general security of military information agreement), LEMOA(logistics exchange memorandum of agreement) in 2002 and 2016 respectively. It also covers the COMCASA which was recently in news addressed as a part of most awaited 2+2 talks between external affairs ministry and defence ministry of the two nations. It is featured as:

  • It is one of the basic agreements that the USA signs with the countries having friendly relations in order to enhance the high-end technology exchange in defence related domain.
  • COMCASA standing for communication compatibility and security agreement is an Indian version of CISMOA (communication and information on security memorandum of agreement) that holds validity for the next 10 years.
  • It will provide a legal framework which will facilitate INDIA to bring home high-tech sensitive communication equipment associated with the US origin military platforms like C-17, C-130 and P-8Is.COMCASA CURRENT AFFAIRS
  • It will help India to procure the defence equipment with encrypted installed communication systems which otherwise would not have possible without COMCASA.
  • It will help INDIA to do away with less secure systems of the commercially available communication system as USA will now provide with the best-secured communication system installed in the aircraft purchased from the USA.COMCASA CURRENT AFFAIRS 1
  • The agreement will benefit the nation through the ground to air communication with the help of military aircraft installed by the US, which will provide awareness regarding the real-time battle situation.
  • This agreement will give access to big database of American intelligence including real-time imagery.
  • Being a technology transfer agreement, it will ensure the interoperability of the equipment of both the militaries.
  • Provided with the coded communication and military equipment, will prevent the leaking of the secrecy system of C4ISR (Commands, Controls, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) to nations like Russia.
  • India will be provided with installed weapons on the Drones meant for sea surveillance. This will also help both the countries to have an eye on the military deployments by Pakistan and China.

The recent engagements between the two countries can be seen as promising avenues for future escalated growth of India as visioned by our leaders at the beginning of the 21 century. The signing of the COMCASA agreement paves the way for another engagement BECA (basic exchange and cooperation agreement) in near future. These will also help India in dealing in a more strategic way with China and Pakistan in relation to issues of maritime security in Indo-pacific region and encroachments of Indian territories encompassing J&K  with reference to Belt and road initiative.

From IIT Varanasi To National Defence Academy

IIT TO NDA

Hello Friends, My name is Pranav Sahni and I am from Jammu. This was my first SSB attempt and got recommended in the same. My parents are teachers and I have done my schooling from Delhi Public School Jammu and right now I am pursuing B.Tech from IIT(BHU) Varanasi. The lifestyle of an officer has always attracted me and therefore the dream to have stars on my shoulders. When I gave my written exam for NDA, I knew I was going to make the cutoff and thus right after my JEE Advanced exam, I started preparing for my SSB. I didn’t take any coaching so internet (especially ssbcrack.com) was my guide. Reading weekly magazines helped me a lot too. I recommend India Today and Outlook as they give you a good insight into things happening around you in small press notes. One most important thing that I realized during my personal interview was the importance of introspection. Most of the questions were asked about myself only and the decisions I had taken in life and the reasons behind them.

My SSB was going to be conducted in SCE Allahabad, or as it is known – ‘the Rejection Centre’. My reporting was on 18th August and the SSB went on from 19th to 23rd August. The batch was of 79 students and only 24 got screened in, the first day. The next four days were fun. In psychology,  I couldn’t attempt many questions in SRTs but I made sure that I do well in other tests.

I remember there was one picture showing a man covered from toe to head with a white sheet for which I assumed him to be dead man and wrote a story related to it, but after our tests, many of my friends told me that I took it into a negative mood and I should have assumed him to be sick (Just for you guys to know, 3 out of 4 who got recommended from my batch wrote a story for a dead man). So, never try to change the situation of a story and instead try to change a negative mood into a positive one. My personal interview went very well. The IO asked me a lot of questions about myself, my family, education, IIT vs NDA, current affairs and GK.

SSB ebooks

From Kerela Floods to Article 35A, I knew answers of all the questions (all thanks to daily newspaper and magazine readings). The GTO tasks were the most fun part of SSB. I knew a lot of facts and figures for the topics of GD and I always tried to give my suggestions and implement other’s too in the obstacles. My lecturette went very well too as I spoke on my first topic-‘Coalition Government’ that too in the given time frame. I knew I had done great in GTO tasks as I was given one of the most difficult command task where I had to find six different ways of completing it and that too with the GTO constantly trying to confuse me by asking me math problems like 25*25, 35+7, etc.

I was very happy when I completed the task in the given time. On the 5th day, when my chest number was finally called, the feeling was just something else. I was the only fresher to get recommended from my batch. My medical tests went on for another week and I have been declared fit for the army. So, I am now just waiting for the final merit list.

To sum it all up, even if you are a fresher and haven’t took any coaching, you can still make the cut only if you are completely dedicated to joining the defence forces. Just keep reading newspapers and magazines,  and try talking in English with your friends, family or even to yourself on almost any topic you can find and be as original and normal as you can be during those 5 days.

Best of luck!

A military court has sentenced seven army men including a Major General rank officer and two serving colonels to life imprisonment in a 24 year old fake encounter case of Assam #indianarmy (image for representation purpose only)

A post shared by SSBCrack™ (@ssbcrackofficial) on

The Army court’s judgement has come after the then AASU vice-president Jagadish Bhuyan fought for justice single handed in Gauhati High Court that first led to a CBI probe ordered by the court. The central investigating agencies charge-sheeted the seven Army men based on which the Supreme Court ordered the court martial.  The court martial had begun on July 16 and concluded on July 27.

The Army has given exemplary punishment to its own officers and men on finding them guilty and this has amplified the glory of the Army and increased people’s trust on the Army.”
