The need for synergy and jointness was highlighted as
a common theme by the Group of Ministers that debated
on issues seeking corrections post 'Operation Vijay'.
The Kargil conflict brought to fore the absence of the
‘Joint Warfare Profession’ in the forces and MoD officials.
It also highlighted the need to create Joint HQ and promote
Jointness in policy formulation, defence acquisition,
procedures and decision-making process in the Security
of the Nation. The need for establishment of a think tank
was highlighted in the recommendations of the Kargil Review
Committee. It necessitated setting up of the Centre of
Joint Warfare Studies by the Ministry of Defence. In pursuance
to GoM Report, the Govt accorded sanction for the establishment
for Centre for Joint Warfare Studies (CENJOWS). The Centre
was established at Kashmir House Complex under the aegis
of Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff on 27 Aug 2007.
CENJOWS was inaugurated by Gen JJ Singh, PVSM, AVSM, VSM,
ADC Chairman Chief of Staff Committee and Chief of Army
Staff on 27 Aug 2007. The CENJOWS was registered as a
society under the Societies Registration Act of XXI, 1860
on 04 Oct 2007. |
