The ASC Centre & College, Bengaluru, successfully concluded the inaugural edition of the Integrated Military Logistics Programme on 9 October 2026, marking a step towards strengthening Tri-Service logistics integration and joint operational preparedness.
The programme was designed to equip officers from the three Services with comprehensive insights into strategic logistics, supply chain management, national policies and joint logistics planning in an integrated theatre environment. It aimed to develop a shared understanding of logistics requirements and strengthen coordination among the Army, Navy and Air Force.
The programme placed emphasis on the role of strategic logistics in supporting military operations and the importance of effective supply chain management in meeting the requirements of the Armed Forces. These areas are central to ensuring that personnel, equipment and essential resources can be supported through coordinated planning and logistics arrangements.
A key focus of the programme was joint logistics planning in an integrated theatre environment. With officers from the three Services participating, the initiative sought to promote a common understanding of logistics processes and improve interoperability across the Services. Such coordination is important for aligning logistics planning with operational requirements during different phases of military activity.
The programme also covered national policies relevant to military logistics, providing officers with insights into the policy framework underpinning logistics planning and execution. By bringing together these areas of study, the programme aimed to strengthen the ability of officers to assess requirements, coordinate resources and make informed decisions in a joint operational setting.
The Integrated Military Logistics Programme was intended to enhance informed decision-making, interoperability and synergy among the Services during peace, crisis and conflict. Its focus on shared learning and joint planning reflects the importance of integrated logistics in supporting coordinated military preparedness.
The conclusion of the inaugural programme on 9 October marks an initiative by ASC Centre & College, Bengaluru, to strengthen professional understanding of Tri-Service logistics. By equipping officers with knowledge of strategic logistics, supply chain management, national policies and joint planning, the programme aims to contribute to improved coordination and operational preparedness across the Armed Forces.
