How does India’s move towards agile military formations reflect administrative reform in defence governance?

The Indian changeover in flexible formations in the armed forces signifies an attitude adjustment from command-based, vertical structures in command to more flexible and more mission-oriented command structures. It symbolizes post-Weberian views on administration, wherein decision-making powers are delegated to the commanders in the field in order to respond promptly. It also enhances service coordination with the assimilation of different kinds of information, logistics, and air support in operational commands. It symbolizes case-oriented governmental thinking in governance, wherein speed, flexibility, and efficiency rank higher than procedural rules and regulations.
