India’s Integrated Battle Group (IBG) has created a huge stir in Pakistan. Indian Army has deployed IBG unit in the border area this month, after which Pakistan’s defense experts have warned Asim Munir. IBG is being considered as one of the most important organizational reforms of the Indian Army.

The Indian Army has designed IBGs as agile, brigade-sized and self-reliant combat groups. Their objective is to enable simultaneous operations on India’s sensitive borders. The process of making IBG for the hilly areas of Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim was completed on 1 July. 6 Major Generals took command of 5 newly formed IBGs and 1 Dedicated Fire Support Group under 17 Mountain Strike Corps (Brahmastra Corps) deployed on the northern border with China.

In fact, it takes a lot of time for different units of the army like infantry, artillery, tanks and medical units to reach the battlefield from different places. In such a situation, this IBG is like an army in itself. In this, all these units will work together. All these units have been combined together under a single commander.

What is IBG?
An IBG is larger than a brigade, consisting of approximately 5,000 soldiers. Every IBG has infantry, artillery, engineer, medical and ration facilities. There are about 1 lakh soldiers in the entire corps and it takes many days to mobilize them. The IBG is ready to be deployed at the front within a few hours.

What did Pakistani defense expert say
Regarding India’s IBG, Pakistani defense expert Bilal Khan has said that Pakistani Army also needs to create similar units. According to Pakistani think tank, with this step of India, it has now become very easy for the army to identify even the battlefield. With the formation and operation of IBG, the response time of the Indian Army has also reduced significantly.
