Organisational Structure of Indian Air Force

This article will put light on the structure and formation of the Indian Airforce. It’ll cover details about commands, wings etc. As an aspirant of the Indian Airforce, you are expected to know the commands and structure of the IAF.

Structure of Indian Air Force

The President of India is the Supreme Commander of all Indian armed forces and by virtue of that fact is the national Commander-in-chief of the Air Force. Chief of the Air Staff with the rank of Air Chief Marshal is the Commander of the Indian Air Force. He is assisted by six officers, all with the rank of Air Marshal:
  • Vice Chief of the Air Staff
  • Deputy Chief of the Air Staff
  • Air Officer in Charge of Administration
  • Air Officer in Charge of Personnel
  • Air Officer in Charge of Maintenance
  • Director General of Inspection and Flight Safety.
v
In January 2002, the government conferred the rank of Marshal of the Air Force on Arjan Singh making him the first and only Five-star officer with the Indian Air Force and ceremonial chief of the air force.

Formation of Indian Air Force

Commands
The Indian Air Force is divided into five operational and two functional commands. Each Command is headed by an Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief with the rank of Air Marshal. The purpose of an operational command is to conduct military operations using aircraft within its area of responsibility, whereas the responsibility of functional commands is to maintain combat readiness. Aside from the Training Command at Bangalore, the center for primary flight training is located at the Air Force Academy in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, followed by operational training at various other schools. Advanced officer training for command positions is also conducted at the Defence Services Staff College; specialized advanced flight training schools are located at Bidar, Karnataka, and Hakimpet, Andhra Pradesh (also the location for helicopter training). Technical schools are found at a number of other locations. Here is a list of Commands:
  • Operational Commands
    • Central Air Command (CAC), headquartered at Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh
    • Eastern Air Command (EAC), headquartered at Shillong, Meghalaya
    • Southern Air Command (SAC), headquartered at Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala
    • South Western Air Command (SWAC), headquartered at Gandhinagar, Gujarat
    • Western Air Command (WAC), headquartered at Subroto Park, New Delhi
  • Functional Commands
    • Training Command (TC), headquartered at Bangalore, Karnataka
    • Maintenance Command (MC), headquartered at Nagpur, Maharashtra
Wings
A Wing is a formation intermediate between a Command and a Squadron. It generally consists of two or three IAF Squadrons and Helicopter Units, along with Forward Base Support Units (FBSU). FBSUs do not have or host any Squadrons or Helicopter units but act as transit airbases for routine operations. In times of war, they can become fully fledged air bases playing host to various Squadrons. In all, about 47 Wings and 19 FBSUs make up the IAF. Wings are typically commanded by a Group Captain.
Squadrons
Squadrons are the field units and formations attached to static locations. Thus, a Flying Squadron is a sub-unit of an air force station which carries out the primary task of the IAF. All fighter squadrons are headed by a Commanding Officer with the rank of Wing Commander. Some Transport squadrons and Helicopter Units are headed by a Commanding Officer with the rank of Group Captain.
Flights
Flights are sub-divisions of Squadrons, commanded by a Squadron Leader.
Within this formation structure, IAF has several service branches for day-to-day operations. They are:
  • Flying Branch
    • Flying
  • Technical Branch
    • Engineering
  • Ground Branch
    • Logistics
    • Administration
    • Accounts
    • Education
    • Medical & Dental
    • Meteorological

SSB Interview: The Game of Psychology

By

Psychologist-Test-Day-2-SSB

Aspirants you would have heard about the battery of psychological tests which are conducted in SSB to test your psychology. Well if you notice then you’ll realize that not only the battery of psychological tests but most of the tests conducted in SSB’s are a test of your psychology. You may wonder how? Well then let me show you.

Screening Test

This test is conducted on the first day and passing in this test means you’ll stay up to five more days. In one of the two tests conducted in screening you are made to write a story and discuss on it (In PPDT). If you notice you’ll realize that three assessors are sitting when you narrate, one psychologist, one IO and one GTO. The psychology tested here is the aspect of your personality like your positive thinking, friendliness, leadership etc.

Psychological Tests

These tests are needless to say a test of your psychology. They put you under extreme pressure, which is short time constraint and then the true personality emerges since it is said that under stress person speaks the truth.

GTO Tests

All these tests are designed to see your liveliness, adaptability etc. and hence if your psychology is good you’ll do well in these tests.

Interview

Here psychology plays a very important role. The whole interview and the questions asked are designed again to put you in pressure and take the real you out. You are made to fill a PIQ form and write your psych tests before interview, this is because the IO checks and rechecks by asking you a number of questions whether whatever you have written is correct or you are boasting about.   So now I think you’ll definitely agree that the whole game is of Psychology hence if your psychology is correct you’ll come out in flying colors. Now I am going to tell a few aspects of psychology which you must try to inculcate in yourself because by and large these only are the few aspects they look for.

Practical Approach

They look for a person who has a practical approach in everything. So while you write your story, situation’s reaction or Self-description you must make sure that you be as practical as possible. If are saying too much about social work and development and you have never done any such thing for the society then saying those things to an extent shows that you are willing to do it but if everywhere you are mentioning about the same thing then it simply means it’s not the real you. So whatever you write and whatever you say to the IO it should reflect a practical approach and not only story type things.

Positive Attitude

When you are shown negative things in Psych tests you must write as much positive thing about it as you can. Now let us see how negativity arises in GTO and IO, suppose you are not able to think of a solution in command task or your commander is scolding you for unnecessary reasons when you have gone as a helper. Negativity arises when your IO is keeping his eyes closed when you are answering him, thus he’s not making an eye contact. But you should keep smiling in negative situations and fight back always.

Ability to keep calm in Difficult Situation

An officer has to undergo various difficult situations where he/she doesn’t panics but keeps calm. Your psychology must reflect this aspect. This is reflected in your psych test papers, in your way of tackling the IO and in GTO. Suppose your group is not able to cross the obstacle in PGT or your IO is speaking all negative about you then must not lose your cool.

Leadership

A true leader cares for their subordinates. Hence don’t be mean, leadership is reflected when you support the weak members and are able to convince your group by logic and not by force.

Adaptability

This is reflected how well have you gelled with your group. This is reflected when you are able to convince your group mates and everybody is willing to listen to you.   Hence keep these few points in mind. SSB is purely a game of psychology and you will win if you have the right qualities. Goodluck.

How to Avoid Sweaty Palms & Feet (Hyperhidrosis)

sweaty palm cure ssbcrack

Hi all Defence aspirants. By now most of you would have got a good knowledge on all aspects of the SSB interview. Thanks to SSB Crack J But little do we know about the medical examination that follows the Conference. There are many posts in SSB crack regarding the medical examination procedure and the medical standards that one should satisfy in order to get into the armed forces. So in this article I am going to share my knowledge and experience on hyperhidrosis. In simple language, “Sweaty palms and feet”.

What is Hyperhidrosis?

It is a medical condition in which the body shows excessive sweating, irrespective of the body temperature. It is quite normal for our body to sweat in order to regulate the body temperature. But a person with hyperhidrosis, sweats excessively and unpredictably irrespective of the surrounding environment temperature or humidity levels. Its hard to predict when and how much they would sweat. There is a lot of information on the internet regarding Hyperhidrosis. For some basic info, read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperhidrosis

What causes it ?

Though there are various claims till present day, no one knows the primary cause for it.
Hyperhidrosis: Permanent Rejection Criteria in the Indian Armed Forces
ssbcrack
Fig: An excerpt from the “Medical Standards for Officer Candidates”

How to cure Hyperhidrosis?

Till date there is no concrete cure for this medical condition. Even I was left helpless when I got to know this. But soon I realized that there are lot of ways to mitigate the intensity and frequency of sweating.
For mild hyperhidrosis, the best cure is to apply antiperspirant lotion like klima,drysol etc. in your palms and feet every night. But do consult a dermatologist in prior to avoid any allergy.
For advanced hyperhidrosis, the best cure would be the Iontophoresis technique.

What is Iontophoresis?

It is a treatment used extensively in hospitals and clinics worldwide that passes mild controlled ‘Micro’ electrical currents into the skin in areas where excessive sweating is a problem. The current is transferred to the body in most cases using simple tap water alone.
Treatments are simple to perform at home and unaided. Simply place electrodes in the provided trays, fill with tap water, switch on the iontophoresis machine setup. Then simply place the hands and or feet into the trays and the circuit will close and treatment will begin automatically.
Do it yourself Iontophoresis device:- 
Things needed:
  • Plastic trays (30 cm x 20 cm approx.) – 2 Nos.
  • 9 Volt radio battery – 1 No.
  • 9 V Battery Clip Connector – 1 No.
  • Alligator clips – 2 Nos.
  • Aluminium foil sheet (used to pack hot rotis)
  • Connecting wires
  • Baking soda
  • Table salt

How to make and use  the setup?

  1. Cover the Plastic trays with aluminium foil. Connect the battery to the covered trays using wires and alligator clips.
  2. Pour tap water to a certain level (so as to cover your palms) and add some table salt and baking soda (1 teaspoon) to make the water more conductive.
  3. Place your both your hands in the trays in order to close the circuit and let the current flow through your body. You might feel a little tingling sensation but do not worry, as the current intensity from a battery is not high enough to give you a shock.
  4. After doing this for 15 mins, now interchange your hands and keep it in the other tray (left hand in right tray & right hand in left tray) and continue the treatment for another 15 mins.
  5. Take this treatment more often initially i.e. once in a day during the 1st week and then gradually reduce it to just two times in a week, as you may start noticing a reduction in your sweat levels from the second week itself.

My experience at the SSB
Hello! My name is Neha and I got recommended for 24 SSB Bangalore for NCC 34 Special Entry (W) Oct 2013 course. My merit ranking was 8th and the vacancies were 4, so I didn’t make it to the academy. However, this article is a result of an old promise I made to myself to share my experience for aspirants who need all the tips and help they can get and who keep searching the internet for the same; like I was doing some months back.

Screening

Officer Intelligence Rating: There’s a lot of data available which you can use for practice. Practice whenever you can, try and attempt all. I read somewhere that a good OIR score helps you later in your career.
Picture Perception and Description Test: The hazy picture was a women-oriented one. I wrote a story which included some community welfare, innovation, helpfulness, initiative etc. During the discussion, I realized that my story isn’t similar to others’ so I didn’t bother too much with pushing my story but just ensured that I make important inputs in the group story. In any case, I went ahead with my plan which was- 1. Speak at least 4 times 2. Make sure everybody listens to you when you speak (for this to happen, you need to make sense) 3. Be very co-operative, don’t fight for bandwidth and do agree to people’s inputs in the story. 4. Girls, please make sure you don’t sound too gentle and feminine; speak with a loud voice and lots of confidence.

Psychology Tests

I am a creative writer by profession so making up stories comes easily to me. 😉 However, psychology is a great technique to do well in. Just practice from the data you get online. Work on your speed, positive thought process, handwriting and focus. Try and finish all the WAT words, SRT situations and stories (I attempted everything). My blank story was about an NGO’s role in disaster- relief (the Heroine was the director of this NGO). Self description is the easiest part because you just have to appreciate yourself. The only and most important thing you have to remember here is- Don’t simply mention qualities which you don’t possess. Because when you attend your interview, the IO will ask you the same question in a different manner. If the qualities you have mentioned in the test don’t match the qualities you tell your IO, it’s a problem. Be honest and think of qualities through some self- introspection, 4-5 good qualities are enough; just stick by them. If the psychologist asks you to jot down negative qualities, write one or two. Write qualities which can be worked upon and changed easily.

GTO

For+SSBCrack2Group Discussion: It’s your first chance to make an impression on the officer. Please utilize it well. Remember these things: 1. Speak with confidence and in regular intervals. 2. Introduce new points and dimensions to the discussion. 3. Show faith in your country, system, governance when you are speaking on international topics. 4. Be a good listener, positive, cooperative, cheerful and make sense.

Group Planning Exercise: Time to show your brains! Read it properly with a lot of focus, prioritize well and take active part in the discussion which follows.  I would recommend some practicing for this. (I am blaming my goof-up in GPE for my merit ranking; I forgot to write a solution for one of the tasks)

Progressive Group Task: Be in the thick of things! Be the one to either say the ideas out loud or the one who directly acts on the idea. Be active, do not stand and sulk because ‘you are not getting a chance’. Grab your chance; this is one task I have noticed where some dominance is allowed. However, don’t be rude outright. Dominating the task while being co-operative is an art (which I and some of you don’t possess, so shy people like us just have to give our best shot and do extra well in the half-group task)

Half Group Task: I am told that this task and tasks after this are all from the confirmatory series, the officer must have already made a preliminary evaluation about you. In any case, it’s the same as PGT, give ideas, or act on your own ideas. Be cooperative; utilize this task optimally if you feel you weren’t very active in PGT. I did well in the HGT than in PGT, gave major ideas.

Group Obstacle Race: Have fun here! Be a team guy, help others, smile, observe rules, motivate.

Lecturette: My topic was communal divides in politics (or something of that sort). I spoke for 2 and half minutes. Just read in advance on varied topics for this task. Choose a moderately difficult or difficult topic. Try and speak for the whole 3 minutes.

Individual Obstacles: What matters is courage, resilience and determination. Show that and you are through this task.

Final Group Task: This one was super-easy for our group. It got over in 2 minutes. If you are not the one putting the plank, at least be the one to help others cross, or the one to ensure all the loads have been crossed over. Just participate somehow.

Interview

My interview happened before the GTO tests. Just one thing got me through this interview- Honesty. The IO asked me questions based on my PIQ and on the supporting statements that I was making. I think the interview lasted for 45-50 minutes. I will list down a few of the questions I was asked- Why I want to quit my current job and join the army. Lots of questions about my current job. Rapid-fire regarding my education. Who I am close to in my family. Since I said I am close to my grandmother, do I know what medicines she takes. Whether I drink. What’s the biggest mistake of my life. What’s the most courageous thing I have done. He asked me two secrets which I have told my best friend. Whether I have attended coaching for SSB etc. I was honest throughout and it seemed like the IO sensed it. For you aspirants, the only interview related advice I would give is- Nothing from your past is unmentionable as long as you have a logical explanation for it. Nobody has a perfect life so don’t try to hide yours. Just show the IO your sincerity and determination in joining by not lying in any manner, being confident and logical reasoning. It’s easier that way. He asked me questions about current affairs; I personally love reading news so it helped me a lot. That’s about it.

Conference

My IO asked me to tell him good eat-out places in Bangalore (since I live in Bangalore). He asked me whether I was satisfied with my performance. He asked me whether I had any suggestions.
About myself
I have attempted the AFSB interview for flying branch twice before this. I was conferenced out in the first attempt and screened out in the second. My greatest learning out of all these three attempts is- If you somehow know that you have it in you, and if it is true, you will get recommended someday. You just need to maintain that level of confidence in yourself throughout. The officers sense that confidence more than anything. The lack of confidence messed up my 2 earlier attempts and its presence brought me so much closer to my dream this time. I personally also believe in being knowledgeable, well-read, being a little intelligent and honestly respecting the Indian Armed Forces and the way this institution functions. In any case, just keep working hard and even if you never make it, know that you died trying. 😉

AFSB is nothing but SSB for the Airforce. AFSB stands for Air Force Selection Board and has four selection centers, 1 AFSB Dehradun, 2 AFSB Mysore, 3 AFSB Gandhinagar, 4AFSB Varanasi and 5 AFSB Kanchrapara. In order to get commissioned as an Airforce Officer, you have to give your SSB at one of these centers. Since AFCAT 2 is over and many of you would be sure of getting above the cutoff marks keeping in mind the previous cutoff percentage. So why not start preparing for the AFSB from now only, since it is a time-consuming job. To begin with, let’s see what all you need to prepare.  

SSB Interview Preparation Material [ 100% Recommended]

Communication Skills

This is a very important part of AFSB. You need to have good communication skills in order to speak in a large group in discussions, in the personal Interview, and also in order to interact with your group mates. Since SSB requires a huge amount of social adaptability hence you must be good enough at interacting with others and communicating your ideas to them. You must start practicing speaking in English. Psychological aspects and your speed of response: You need to be really fast in your thinking process in order to do the best in TAT, WAT and SRT. So you need to start building that habit from now onwards. Take sample tests from whichever source you can say for example SSBCrack has an ample number of Sample practice series for TAT, WAT, and SRT.

Physical Fitness

You must start practicing running, jogging, and mild cardio exercises in order to increase stamina and physical endurance. This will not only improve your physical appearance but will make you look fit. Also, this will help you in enduring the long sessions of tasks done in the GTO series at a go. It also helps you to maintain a good body posture which is very important in AFSB. The way you sit, the way you walk everything counts hence be straight while walking and sitting and do not slouch.  

General Awareness
