Territorial Army - History of India's Part-Time Soldiers




The Book authored by Surender Singh is now ready for publication and would hit the stands within few days...

The Subject
An Important facet concerning military matters in India has eluded the scrutiny of policy makers since independence. Equally so, within the military organization; it has not been subject to an informed debate despite a great scope for restructuring in the present manning structure of Indian army. My reference here is to the Territorial Army which forms an integral part of the Indian Army and which is also popularly described as the Citizens’ Army. The conceptual framework for the TA is based on the fundamental idea that it should exist for war-time employment, and should be maintainable at the lowest cost during peace time. The concept encompasses the employment of disciplined, dedicated and a low cost force of gainfully employed citizens from all walks of life to supplement and augment the resources of Regular Army. These citizens on joining undergo a short period of rigorous training, which makes them reasonably competent soldiers. Subsequently, they join units from 14 days to a maximum of 60 days every year for refresher training to keep in touch with the art of soldiering and are liable to be called for an active duty during hostilities.
