#1 share experience in doctrines and higher formation-level exercises,

Latest Indian doctrine calls for "cold start" and integrated battle groups with C4I (no more slow mobilization of the Strike Corps). The Indian battle groups are large - 20000 strong, bigger than an armored division, with organic artillery - > a hundred guns and aviation and ready to move immediately.

Indian formation level exercises involve a Strike Corps or larger - several armored divisions. The very largest exercises have had about three hundred thousand troops in the war game.

Any clue how they split the logistics? I'd worry about support for a fighting force that size.
