PROLOGUE 

The Government of India is responsible for ensuring the Defence of India. The Supreme 

Command of the Armed Forces vests in the President of India. The responsibility for 

Defence of the country rests with the Cabinet. This is discharged through the Ministry 

of Defence, which provides the policy framework and wherewithal to the Armed Forces 

to discharge their responsibilities for defence of the country. 

The prime task of the Ministry of Defence is to prepare for Defence of the country by 

providing required Infrastructure, adequate trained Manpower and Defence Equipment 

and Platforms to the Armed Forces. During the last few months, the Ministry of 

Defence and the Armed Forces have fast-tracked efforts to enhance defence 

preparedness and the security of the Nation. This e-Book, the first of its kind, is being
