Countering cold start: Military to adopt new war concept

Three services to become integrated force.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s military is all set to adopt a “new concept” of war for fighting future conventional threats, specifically pre-empting India’s cold-start military doctrine, revealed security officials.
The new war concept, developed after four years of war games and military exercises, seeks to improve the mobilisation time of troops and develop an integrated response from the combined fighting arms of the army, navy and air forces, in case of a conventional military threat.
It will formally be put into practice with the culmination of the “Azm-e-Nou” war-games series this month. The exercises, which started in 2009, have been part of the army’s new concept of war fighting, designed to respond to the threat posed by India’s Pakistan-specific cold-start doctrine.
The cold-start doctrine is intended to allow India’s conventional forces to perform swift and unexpected holding penetrations within the first 72 hours of hostilities.
The doctrine has been designed to give India an edge in the first few days of combat operations, before international pressure could be brought to bear on India and before the Pakistani military could respond effectively.

The Indian military, however, publicly denies the existence of any such doctrine. The final series of ‘Azm-e-Nau IV’ kicked off in Islamabad at the National Defence University on Monday to validate operational plans prepared in view of the emerging threat environment, said a senior military official.
All services chiefs are being hosted by Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani for the finalisation of the new concept.
“The army war games are the culmination of a series of such exercises and aims at validation and crystallisation of operational plans prepared in view of the emerging threat environment,” said a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
Operational plans of the Pakistan Air Force and Pakistan Navy are also being finalised in close coordination with the army.
The war games will continue for two weeks, the statement added.
Unveiling details of the concept, the military source said that after the implementation of the new war fighting strategy, the Pakistan Army would be able to mobilise its forces faster than India.

War-readiness costs money. Can we afford to keep our troops close to warlike readiness all the time? Only some of the troops? Would that be enough to deny India the CS Doctrine?

Perhaps a more affordable and sustainable way for us is to rely on the nuclear deterrence and cut down on the number of conventional forces.

Each country has it's interests at heart, strategy, war planning, defensive/offensive doctrines.
One doesn't expect the Indian war lords to acknowledge this openly.....Pakistan OTOH, can't afford to remain oblivious to the surroundings as military planners on both sides of the border have a fair idea as what's cooking on the other side.

Ah common he is the cheif of His army he will say that to keep it as covert as its possible to make sure the element of surprise remain as it is.

I'm hearing this from 5-6 years ,Each 1-2 year pakistan gerrnail's comes with a new strategy to counter CS,Looks like somebody is too much afraid of CS.

 

[GreenFoe]

I didn't knew that a random person is more credible than Indian army chief.

The new doctrine is just a paranoia by pakistani war lords to get there fundings.

They don't need a new strategy ,they just need to motivate themselves to their notion of 1 ghazi > 10 kafirrz

If they become true in the way mentioned above they can counter india+china army together .

Actually, it's Indian war lords fooling their public.....CS......surgical strikes, hot pursuits, targeted killing and . No actions just blabbering which keeps your kind amused.


@kurup , he may not be more credible but where there's smoke, there's fire. !!

it may not be for countering CSD, but faster mobility will certainly give Pakistan an advantage, since we will always be dwarfed by IA, so ability to conduct operations quickly with element of surprise is really the best option right now

CSD is very good Concept but unfortunately we are talking about India
2001 Standoff was a good example of CSD but it took 2 months to troop mobilization and around 1000 personal death .
CSD is not effective for pakistan because their army bases are near to border then indian IBG's .and their human intel are in around base i remember indian capture a spy near army base and he was talking to his handler in pakistan and telling him " Mamu bazcho ke sath bahar za raha hai"
Even though indian are spending more money to validate this doctrine by buying big transport plane like C-17 i don't think is going to happen Baniya is going to attack pakistan behind a veil[TTP ,Baloch terrorist] not in front because of nuclear weapons.

you are going to be full retarded,right???Cold Start,if ever existed,is the doctrine that was developed taking the lesson from 2001 stand-off.It took a long time(3 weeks) to assemble strike corps in various sectors from their original position,Central India.and it took the momentum of war.Cold Start,if exists,is Network Centric version of 1967 Arab-Israeli war as well as 1971's Indo-Pak war..lowest responce time(48 to 72 hours),significant harm or Pakistan's military yet,it would be done so,that Pakistan couldn't justify the use of nuclear weapons.Armor spearhead,backed by significant amount of Airpower will be launched in Punjab and Rajasthan sector,backed by Arty support.and aim will be significant,yet under nuclear threshold damage to Pakistani forces,capture some portion of Pakistani Panjab,yet again,under nuclear threshold..and do it within 2-3 days so that International community couldn't intervene..but again,many doctrines like before,its just another proactive approach..but yes,India is preparing for this kind of war...


so,your so called "infront of nuclear weapons" or "Baniya is going to attack in veil" is just another itch to create a fuss within indian members and handover this thread to trolls..I suggest you read more before posting this kind of imaginary responce..

Sundarji Doctrine (1981–2004)

The Sundarji Doctrine was made up of seven defensive "holding corps" of the Indian Army and deployed near the Pakistani border. Possessing limited offensive power, the holding corps’ primary responsibility was to check a Pakistani advance.[4] India’s offensive potency was derived from the “strike corps,” which were made up of a mechanised infantry and extensive artillery support. “Unlike the holding corps that was deployed close to the border," argues Walter Ladwig of the University of Oxford, "the strike corps was based in central India, a significant distance from the international border. In a war, after the holding corps halted a Pakistani attack, the strike corps would counterattack, penetrating deep into Pakistani territory to destroy the Pakistan Army’s own strike corps through 'deep sledgehammer blows' in a high-intensity battle of attrition.”[4]

However, the limitation of the Sundarji doctrine was exposed on 13 December 2001, when five masked men attacked the Indian Parliament. 12 people—including the five gunmen—were killed and 22 were injured. India was quick to blame Pakistani-sponsored militant groups because just two months earlier, a similar assault was carried out by the Jaish-e-Mohammad on the Kashmir state assembly. India received credible evidence that Pakistani-sponsored militant groups Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad were behind the attack, prompting India to initiate Operation Parakram, the largest activation of its forces since the 1971 Bangladesh war.[4]

It took the Indian strike corps three weeks to get to the international border. During that time Pakistan was able to counter-mobilize and allow for intervening powers—the United States in particular—to become an intermediary to the conflict. Urging India to restrain, the American Ambassador to India, Robert Blackwill, demanded that India wait until President Pervez Musharraf delivered a speech that would address the crisis. Musharraf’s speech was quick to denounce terrorism generally, and militant groups operating in Kashmir specifically, promising a crackdown. “As a result of Musharraf’s declaration, by the time the [Indian] strike corps reached the border region, India’s political justification for military action had been significantly reduced,” Walter C. Ladwig maintains.[4]

Indian military strategists came to the conclusion that the Sundarji doctrine was flawed. It was too inflexible to respond to terrorist attacks or other indirect challenges, for three reasons: The strike corps was too big and too far away from the international border, making it difficult to deploy in a timely fashion. Second, the long duration needed to mobilize the strike corps prevented strategic surprise, allowing Pakistan plenty of time to counter-mobilize. Third, the holding corps’ lack of offensive power along the international border prevented it from engaging in significant offensives.[4]
