In one of the biggest military reforms, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced the setting up of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) post. The CDS was recommended by the Kargil Review Committee and has been deliberated and discussed for nearly two decades now, say former officers. The committee had recommended the integration of the three services — Army, Navy and Air Force — under a Chief of Defence Staff. This announcement coincides with the country commemorating 20 years of Kargil War.
