Show answer
Answer: (3) It facilitates the restructuring of military commands for optimal utilization of resources.
उत्तर: (3) यह संसाधनों के इष्टतम उपयोग के लिए मिलिटरी कमान के पुनर्गठन को सुकर बनाता है।
Facilitating the restructuring of military commands for optimal use of resources (through jointness and joint/theatre commands) is a function of the Department of Military Affairs, headed by the Chief of Defence Staff, not of the DoD. The DoD, headed by the Defence Secretary, deals with defence policy and planning, the defence budget and defence cooperation with foreign countries.
