Assess India's Military Capabilities For Mutual Ops: US House And Senate Armed Services Committee

The US Congressional conference committee has asked the Defense Secretary and the Secretary of State to assess India’s military capabilities for mutual operations to recognize India as a major defense partner.

According to the provisions mentioned in the Congressional conference report on National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 the committee has asked the Defence Secretary and the Secretary of State to conduct an assessment of the extent to which India possesses capabilities to support and carry out military operations of mutual interest of the two countries, various media reported Wednesday.

This, including an assessment of the defence export control regulations and policies, needed appropriate modification in recognition of India’s capabilities and its status as a major defence partner, said the conference report which was unveiled by the House and Senate Armed Services Committee.

It now needs to be formally passed by the two chambers of the Congress--the House of Representatives and Senate--before US President Barack Obama can sign it into law.

Majority of the decisions of the Section 1292 of NDAA called ‘Enhancing defence and security cooperation with India’ would, however, have to be taken by the incoming Donald Trump Administration which would take charge on January 20.

The language arrived in the conference report and NDAA has been agreed upon by both the Republican and Democratic Party.

NDAA 2017 authorises funding for the Department of Defence and the national security programmes of the Department of Energy.

However, NDAA 2017 is still a step below what friends of India have been working for in the Congress for the past few years--bringing the defence relationship on par with top NATO allies and Israel.

“The President shall ensure that the assessment” is used, consistent with US conventional arms transfer policy, to inform the review by the US of requests to export defence articles, defence services, or related technology to India under the Arms Export Control Act and to inform any regulatory and policy adjustments that may be appropriate, it said.

NDAA 2017 also urged the Administration to designate an individual within the executive branch who has experience in defence acquisition and technology--to reinforce and ensure, through inter-agency policy coordination, the success of the Framework for the US-India Defence Relationship and to help resolve remaining issues impeding Indo-US defence trade, security cooperation and co-production and co-development opportunities.

[hussain0216]

LOL shall I get you some cream for burning?

Of course its aimed at China. On mutual consent. And I think Modi and Trump will have strong messages for Ur country?

The U.S isnt interested in losing Pakistan, words aside, the biggest problem will be individual right wing senstors and politicians

But put it this way if the U.S milks you and gives weapons to oppose China

Do you think China will go into the fetal position crying?

Or

Look to strengthen itself and Pakistan as a response and counter

ONE HUGE DIFFERENCE between USA/PAK and USA/INDIA relsationship.


USA treats india with dignity respect and values india as a LONG term ally.

AND the reason for that INDIA does not beg borrow steal money .
INDIA brings value economic muscle and ;political clout to USA and has global credibility.


The is a difference is 10 to 1 in the power of India v Pakistan AND that's WHY USA has made up india as it most Im,portant ally in the coming decade.

 

[Papa Dragon]

I hope India doesn't get too close with US as there are high chances to get ditched like Pakistan and would push us away from Russia. If US turns out to be India's major defense partner, they may reject to supply components and spares at times when things aren't as good as they are now.

Your nothing but a nation to use for the purpose of U.S foreign policy

U.S is wary of China it thus supports you to do its bidding and act as a counter weight

In reality the US is wary of India also and hedges its bets by keeping Pakistan as a ally as a counter to india and other feo strategic reasons



Bottom line is the same you want to climb onto the U.S lap and act against China then go ahead but be prepared for China to respond and be even more generous to Pakistan

 

[Jugger]

serious point:they want to use india against china.
more serious point:they need hanuman army powers which despite great technology US lacks.

Your posts do not have any debatable content, it is just for snubbing.

On topic: USA and India have their interests aligned due to an assertive China and the global jihadi menace. Military cooperation is the logical conclusion of this alignment.
Now USA should provide high tech TOT to India for it to develop its military so that interoperability can be achieved.

Its China who has been at odds with Republic of India .

Republic of India wants to solve the border dispute with China in peaceful manner and want to regain our holy lands .

USA will become india,s biggest defense provider in the next 10-15 years.

ISRAEL FRANCE & RUSSIA will lose some the indian PIE

State of Israel doesnt have any big military industry.

Russian Federation and Chinese are having a single policy in UNSC.

Republic of India is a global power and United States knows the importance of Republic of India.

North Korea's long range missiles are directed towards United States and its allies in South East Asia

The U.S isnt interested in losing Pakistan, words aside, the biggest problem will be individual right wing senstors and politicians

Its already clearly visible when Chinese are blocking 1267 UN resolutions against Pakistani citizens .

United States is well aware that Pakistan is completely backed by the Chinese.

Global Jihad is nothing but proxy war in which religion doesnt have to do anything.

Chinese are actively expanding themselves against the US global interest and Chinese have selected countries to whom Chinese openly back. Pakistan, North Korea, Iran, Syria etc.

United States is having different values , when its about its major non NATO allies but the problem is with the policies of NATO member states who openly violates International conventions.

BETA you can not deny the fact that you are also a Hanuman ki Aoulaad, no matter what!

Hanuman aka Vayu Putra is direct descendant of Lord Shiva and these are divine and celestial beings and these are not humans.

Not Isreal. They have been our loyal friends and have helped us when it mattered.

Not Isreal. They have been our loyal friends and have helped us when it mattered.

State of Israel are not friends of Republic of India. Always they work to spoil Republic of India relations with the traditional allies of Arab world.

State of Israel have even directly attack Republic of Turkey many times and have work against the NATO alliance.

State of Israel are not friends of Republic of India.

Look,when you write something like that,it's like to write :i'm stupid.
