In what comes as a move that underscores India’s commitment to increase visibility, accessibility, and wider dissemination of joint war-fighting concepts, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan and Department of Military Affairs secretary formally released the declassified versions of the joint doctrines for cyberspace operations and amphibious operations.
These were released during the Chiefs of Staff Committee meeting in New Delhi on Thursday.
The joint doctrine for cyberspace operations outlines a unified approach to defend national cyberspace interests, integrating offensive and defensive cyber capabilities and enabling synchronised operations across the three Services, the defence ministry said in a statement.

The doctrine emphasises threat-informed planning, resilience building, real-time intelligence integration and development of joint cyber capabilities.
The joint doctrine for amphibious operations defines the framework for planning and executing amphibious operations by integrating maritime, air and land forces, stressing interoperability, rapid response capability and joint force application to influence operations ashore.
"The CDS has initiated development of numerous new doctrines/primers covering contemporary as well as niche areas of war-fighting such as military space operations, special forces operations, airborne/heliborne operations, integrated logistics, multi-domain operations," the defence ministry said, adding that these doctrines will provide stakeholders and policy makers with a common lexicon and guidelines for effective planning and smooth execution of joint military operations.
