In response to escalating tensions along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China, the Indian Army's Central Command undergoes a strategic overhaul. Headquarters Uttar Bharat transforms into the 18 Corps, bolstering its operational capabilities with additional artillery, aviation, and engineering brigades. This move aims to streamline deployments and address ad hoc changes implemented after the Galwan clash in 2020. With the formation of the 18 Corps, the Central Command transitions from an administrative to a combatised role. The Army, now with seven dedicated corps, fortifies its readiness along the LAC, signaling a proactive stance against potential threats.
