Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured that the creation of Theatre Command is on track. The Defence Ministry has identified three Theatre Commands - Cyber Command, Space Command, and Armed Forces Special Operations Division. The headquarters for these commands have been identified as Lucknow, Jaipur, and Thiruvananthapuram, respectively.

Earlier, PM Modi had stated in Parliament on July 2 that the creation of Theatre Command was on track and that the modernization of the armed forces was in full swing. The Department of Military Affairs (DMA), headed by Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, is working to integrate the three military services to prepare for future wars. The DMA has identified over 150 points to implement this plan, aiming to create a unified culture and work ethic.

According to the DMA's plan, the Western Theatre Command will be established in Jaipur to monitor Pakistan, while the Northern Theatre Command will be established in Lucknow to counter threats from the northern and eastern borders. The Maritime Theatre Command, led by the Indian Navy, will be established in Thiruvananthapuram to monitor maritime borders.

The BJP had promised to establish Theatre Command in its party manifesto. The integration of forces, repair, and maintenance facilities for common platforms are also underway. The latest examples include the Apache attack helicopter, ALH Dhruv, and AK-203 assault rifles.

The government will implement several points from the Defence Ministry's 100-day agenda, including the establishment of Theatre Command. The Modi government and the BJP had promised in their party manifesto to create Theatre Command to better prepare for future wars. The CDS and the three services have worked together to pave the way for the creation of Theatre Command, which was considered a challenging task. With the CDS at the top and three Theatre Commands, the future operations will be efficiently conducted with the optimal use of resources."
