In addition to the forthcoming establishment of unified tri-service theatre commands, the new government will address the long-awaited restructuring of certain Army formations into self-contained Integrated Battle Groups (IBGs) capable of rapid mobilization and powerful strikes, according to sources. The 1.2 million-strong Army has already formed two IBGs under the 9 'Pivot' Corps (headquartered in Yol) on the western front with Pakistan as part of Phase 1 of the 'pilot project.'
