The Cabinet Committee on Security will take a call on deciding the terms for having a permanent Chairman of the Chief’s of Staff Committee (COSC)-a body of three service chiefs.
Having a full-time Chairman for the COSC was one of the items suggested by the Naresh Chandra task force. Besides this, the entire list of suggestions of the task force has been forwarded to the CCS for a decision, top sources have confirmed. Yesterday, Navy Chief Admiral DK Joshi had confirmed that the three services were in agreement on having an officer heading the COSC on full-time basis. At present, the senior most service chief is the ex officio Chairman of the COSC. Defence Minister AK Antony has yet again asked all political parties to give their opinion on having a full-time Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), as recommended by the Kargil review committee in 2001.
