Tour of Duty at nascent stage, Army looking to make SSC more ‘lucrative’, says CDS Rawat

CDS Bipin Rawat said bringing in a concept like ‘Tour of Duty’ requires deep study into its financial viability for the Army.

New Delhi: Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat Thursday weighed in on reports that the Army is looking to offer a three-year voluntary stint, or ‘Tour of Duty’, to boost recruitment, saying the proposal is yet at a nascent stage.

In an interaction with a small group of journalists Thursday, General Rawat acknowledged that the Army is considering new concepts of temporary recruitment to address the shortage of officers, but suggested that these won’t affect the Short Service Commission (SSC). 

The Army, he said, is looking to make SSC more “lucrative” for officers who eventually don’t make the cut for permanent service.

If not pension, then what?’

The SSC allows people to join the Army as officers for a 14-year tenure. Once their tenure expires, the officers may opt out or avail of permanent commission subject to eligibility.

General Rawat cited the steep pyramid in the armed forces to state the military establishment wants some officers to join the force under the SSC. To make the prospect more appealing for applicants, he said, the military is looking at offering them incentives. 

“For an officer who will just serve for 14 years, you don’t want to give him a pension, what then can you do for them? Can you give him training that will make him stand on his feet?” Rawat said. 

“We were looking at one stage, can we make him do a one-year MBA? Or if someone has joined the service with a BTech degree, can we make him do a two-year MTech? Or can we offer him ECHS (ex-servicemen contributory health scheme) so that his medicals (expenses) are taken care of?” he added, saying the military will have to “look at some incentive to attract him (applicants) and get him to the service”.

It shouldn’t be mandatory. Young enthusiasts can be given a chance based on their physical and mental fitness. This service can be considered as a positive point/additional qualification in their resumes for jobs and higher education.
