ASC Centre & College Bengaluru concludes inaugural Tri-Service logistics programme
The ASC Centre & College, Bengaluru, has concluded the inaugural edition of its Integrated Military Logistics Programme, with the course ending on 9 October 2026. The programme is intended to deepen Tri-Service logistics integration and improve joint operational preparedness across the Army, Navy and Air Force.
According to the source material, the course was structured to give officers from the three Services a broad understanding of strategic logistics, supply chain management, national policies and joint logistics planning in an integrated theatre environment. The idea was to build a common perspective on logistics requirements and strengthen coordination between the Services.
Logistics, though often less visible than combat operations, is central to military effectiveness. The programme placed particular emphasis on strategic logistics and supply chain management, both of which are essential for ensuring that personnel, equipment and critical resources are available when required. The training also highlighted how coordinated planning supports the movement and sustainment of forces during military operations.
A major theme of the programme was joint logistics planning in an integrated theatre environment. With officers from all three Services participating, the initiative sought to promote interoperability and a shared understanding of logistics processes. This kind of coordination is important for aligning logistics planning with operational requirements across different phases of military activity.
The programme also included national policies relevant to military logistics. These policy inputs were meant to help officers understand the framework within which logistics planning and execution take place, and to strengthen their ability to assess requirements, coordinate resources and make informed decisions in a joint setting.
By bringing together these elements, the Integrated Military Logistics Programme aimed to improve informed decision-making, interoperability and synergy among the Services during peace, crisis and conflict. The focus on shared learning and joint planning reflected the role of integrated logistics in supporting coordinated military preparedness.
The conclusion of the inaugural course on 9 October also reflects an initiative by ASC Centre & College, Bengaluru, to build professional understanding of Tri-Service logistics. Through training in strategic logistics, supply chain management, national policies and joint planning, the programme is meant to contribute to better coordination and operational readiness across the Armed Forces.
