      Hi RR
      Good introduction.
      In the challenges , also mention that the concept of a theatre command may promote a sense of “fighting battles, rather than fighting a war”, which in turn may reduce our ability to either win a battle or the war.
      Advantages are discussed in a decent manner.
      Good structure.
      Avoid spelling mistakes.
      Keep writing.

      Hi KG
      India has two tri-service commands not one. The first one is known as the Andaman and Nicobar Command (ANC) and was created in 2001. It is led by service chiefs on a rotational basis. The second is a functional command (not overseeing a particular geographical location) called the Strategic Forces Command established in 2006.
