The New Indian Express|January 01, 2025

Till now, the chiefs were getting Aides-de-Camp (ADCs) from their own units.

"This change has been adopted by all the three service chiefs, signalling some major changes in 2025. It may appear a small step but it is a big message for transforming the defence forces," sources said.

To begin with, the Army chief will get ADC also from the Air Force, the Air Chief from the Indian Navy, and the Navy chief from the Army.

This is part of the several such changes that will roll out over the next year. Sources said the initiative is led by the Chief of Defence Staff, General Anil Chauhan, who is working on a long-term plan to move the forces towards the Integrated Theatre Commands.
