    What is PCOSC?
    Credits:
  • The PCOSC (Permanent Chief of Staff Committee) will be equivalent in rank and protocol to the Chief of Staffs of Army, Navy, and Air Force.

    PCOSC will be responsible for all military hardware acquisition processes, tri-service command in Andaman and Nicobar, special forces, cyber command, etc.

    With a tenure of 2 years, PCOSC will comprise only of serving four-starred officers.

    The history behind the COSC
    Credits:
  • The position of a single point military adviser was mooted after the 1999 Kargil war by the Subramanyam committee set up by the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government.

    The committee had then proposed a 5-star Chief of Defence Staff to whom the chief of staff of armed forces would report.

    However, the idea was shelved for the fear of creating an overly powerful military authority.

    Credits:
  • The Naresh Chandra Committee set up in 2011 by the UPA government recommended a watered down version of Chief of Defence Staff.

    The four-starred PCOSC (equivalent to chief of staff of 3 armed forces) alleviates the concerns of creating an overly powerful military general.

    The PCOSC will be responsible for "jointness at the top" in terms of planning, operation, and modernization of the military.

  • Personal

    The current scenario

  • The Chief of Staff Committee currently is not a separate permanent position but is rather held in rotation by the senior most member of the 3 armed forces until retirement.

    Credits:
  • Permanent COSC will leave greater time with military chiefs for operational and administrative roles.

    PCOSC by providing a bigger picture will help overcome the problem of each wing seeing things according to their own perspective and requirements.

    With wars getting increasingly complex, PCOSC will be responsible for the strategic command in charge of nuclear weapons and the upcoming cyber and space commands.
