The Army Air Defence Corps on Wednesday celebrated its 25th Raising Day, with Adjutant General and Senior Colonel Commandant Lt General Ashwani Kumar along with Lt General P.S. Jaggi and veterans laying wreaths at the Amar Jawan Jyoti here to pay homage to the braves in a solemn ceremony.
The Corps of Army Air Defence was raised on January 10, 1994, and since then has grown in stature and has proved its mettle in all major conflicts in the past, an official statement said.
The Corps is now going through a transformative period of modernisation with the induction of new weapon systems and upgradation of the existing ones.
The raising of the Akash Regiments and planned induction of MRSAM have been game changers in the battle of skies, providing the ground forces with more freedom, manoeuvrability and security.
"In the next few years, the Corps will transform into a technologically advanced combat force," the statement said.
