Who chairs the Army Commanders' Conference, the apex-level biannual forum of the Indian Army?
- A.The Raksha Mantri
- B.The Chief of Defence Staff
- C.The Chief of the Army Staff
- D.The Defence Secretary
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Chief of the Army Staff. The conference is the apex-level biannual forum of the Indian Army and is chaired by the COAS, who also confers the Green Military Stations and Aviation Flight Safety awards during the event. Option A is wrong because the Raksha Mantri addresses the conference and releases the Land Warfare Doctrine and the annual United Nations Journal, but does not chair it. Option B is wrong because the Chief of Defence Staff is one of the senior officers delivering talks on contemporary security-related issues at the forum, not its chair. Option D is wrong because the Defence Secretary was not named in connection with chairing this conference; the forum brings together the senior leadership of the Indian Army under its own chief.
