New Delhi: It is déjà vu time. Just like this time last year when the coronavirus had struck leading to the postponement of the apex level Army Commander’s Conference (ACC), the upcoming meet scheduled to be held at the national capital from April 26-30, 2021 has been postponed due to the spike in the number of COVID cases across the country, sources have told ETV Bharat.
Held usually in March and October every year, the ACC is an important event in the planning and execution process of the Indian Army that undertakes a 360-degree look at the current emerging perspectives on issues relating to operations, logistics, administration, human resources and welfare.
The upcoming ACC has assumed particular significance because of several issues which need brainstorming at the highest level.
These issues include the face-off situation with China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) which seems to have moved into an impasse, the ongoing ceasefire with Pakistan, the move to set up theatre commands in what is being seen as one of the biggest reform measures of the Indian military in its history besides a host of other issues relating to organizational and functional reforms, deployments, etc.
