Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday released a book titled ‘Ready, Relevant and Resurgent II: Shaping a Future Ready Force’, authored by Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan. The book presents a comprehensive and future-oriented blueprint for shaping India’s Armed Forces for making them future-ready.
The book makes an in-depth analysis of warfare’s changing character and provides an evolutionary overview of war, while focusing on emerging frontiers such as cyberspace, space-enabled operations, cognitive warfare, and their growing relevance for the Indian Armed Forces.
The book also highlights the need for strong military leadership, institutional agility, and the strategic integration of cutting-edge technologies to build a resilient and future-ready force. Drawing on both historical lessons and contemporary trends, it lays out a bold roadmap to ensure India’s Armed Forces remain ready, reliable, and resurgent.
The launch event was attended by Director General of the Centre for Joint Warfare Studies Maj Gen (Dr) Ashok Kumar and Rajan Arya from Pentagon Press, the publisher of the book.
