CDS Chauhan Introduces New Doctrines for Cyberspace and Amphibious Warfare

Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan formally released the declassified versions of the Joint Doctrines for Cyberspace Operations and Amphibious Operations on August 7, 2025, during the Chiefs of Staff Committee meeting in New Delhi. The Cyberspace Doctrine outlines a unified approach integrating offensive and defensive cyber capabilities across the Army, Navy, and Air Force, emphasizing threat-informed planning, resilience, real-time intelligence, and joint capability development to counter advanced cyber threats, particularly from China. The Amphibious Doctrine provides a comprehensive framework for joint maritime, air, and land force operations, focusing on interoperability, rapid deployment, and effective power projection ashore, supporting strategic, operational, and humanitarian roles. These doctrines mark a significant step in enhancing India’s joint war-fighting capabilities and transparency while additional doctrines on Military Space, Special Forces, Airborne Operations, and Multi-Domain Operations are underway.
