CDS General Anil Chauhan, a former Eastern Army Commander, took charge as the country's senior-most military commander over nine months after the first Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Bipin Rawat, died in a chopper crash in Tamil Nadu.
"I will try to fulfil the expectations of the three services. We will tackle all challenges and difficulties together," said General Chauhan, who has been tasked with a mandate to implement the ambitious theaterisation plan that seeks to ensure tri-service synergy and prepare the military for future security challenges.
