The biannual Army Commanders Conference, postponed in April due to COVID-19, will be organised in two phases, the Army said on Tuesday. It comes amid the standoff at several points on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China in Eastern Ladakh which is likely to figure prominently.

“The first phase of the conference is scheduled from May 27 to 29 and the second phase in the last week of June,” the Army said in a statement.

The leadership will brainstorm on the emerging security and administrative challenges and chart the future course, the Army said. To ensure due diligence, decisions are taken through collegiate system comprising commanders and senior officers.

During the first phase to be organised at the South Block, aspects pertaining to operational and administrative issues including studies on logistics and human resources will be discussed, the statement said.
