Third, tying down military resources in the securing of their camps, stations and garrisons would ensure the tiring out of the Indian Army. The perceived difficulty of the Indian Army of securing itself from suicide attacks at installations and institutions arises due to the absence thus far of credible threats to these. The adversary’s intent is to ensure that army formations and units are as committed, if not more, than the units of the Pakistan Army. Rarely does the idea of securing the military garrisons with the assistance of civil authorities arise. It should hold nothing back in its quest to hurt the adversary, whether at the border or deep inside his territory.
