Currently serving as the Army Commander of the Northern Command, Lt. Gen. Kumar oversees military operations in the northern region of India, including the critical areas of Jammu and Kashmir. The Northern Command plays a pivotal role in managing both conventional and counter-insurgency operations.
The Northern Command is one of the seven operational commands of the Indian Army. It is primarily responsible for defending India’s northern borders, including the strategically important Jammu and Kashmir region. This command is crucial for managing border security and counter-terrorism operations.
Formally known as the XVI Corps, the White Knight Corps is headquartered in Nagrota, Jammu. It is tasked with conducting counter-insurgency and anti-terrorism operations, particularly in the Jammu region. The corps plays a vital role in safeguarding this volatile area from militant infiltration and internal threats.
This unit is part of the Army’s specialized forces aimed at dealing with insurgency and terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. Their role includes patrolling sensitive areas, intercepting terrorist activities, and maintaining peace and security within the region.
This visit is yet another demonstration of the Indian Army’s ‘Nation First’ policy, emphasizing the importance of maintaining constant vigilance to safeguard the country’s borders and internal security. As operations in Jammu and Kashmir continue, the Dhruva Command, under Lt. Gen. Kumar’s leadership, remains focused on its mission to protect the nation’s interests while promoting stability in the region.
