| Summary / Abstract (Note) | When the chief of army staff, General Bikram Singh assumed office in May last year amidst uncertainty and rising allegations of financial, disciplinary and moral impropriety within the service, he gave the call for 'Back to Basics'. Taking a cue from the chief, the Army Training Command (ARTRAC) has adopted this as its theme for the annual 2013-2014 journal, a tacit acknowledgement that the army has lost its moorings. Surely there are officers who understand that all is not well with the service and the drift, if not corrected, will have serious consequences. |
