== Testbed for Integrated Battle Groups ==
{{Main|Indian Army#Rudra all-arms brigades}}
The [[XVII Corps (India)|XVII Corps]] was one of the Corps, along with IX Corps, were used as the testbeds to explore the concept of Integrated Battle Group (IBG) [[combined arms]] formations. The concept was initially conceived in 2013 during a field exercise in Punjab<ref>{{Cite web |last=Banerjee |first=Ajay |date=2025-07-28 |title=‘Rudra’ to power up brigades for future wars |url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/india/rudra-to-power-up-brigades-for-future-wars/ |access-date=2025-07-29 |website=The Tribune |language=en}}</ref> and was later revived in 2018 by the then [[Chief of the Army Staff (India)|Chief of the Army Staff]] (CoAS) [[General (India)|General]] [[Bipin Rawat]].<ref>{{Cite web |last= |date=2022-05-11 |title=Integrated Battle Groups - Current Affairs |url=https://www.nextias.com/ca/current-affairs/11-05-2022/integrated-battle-groups |access-date=2024-11-30 |language=en-US}}</ref>

The Integrated Battle Groups were Brigade-sized, self-sufficient combined arms units commanded by an officer of the rank [[Major general (India)|Major General]]. They were meant to transform the overall field formation of the Indian Army. The concept was tested with the IX Corps by July 2019 and were undergoing certain reorganisation based on few feedbacks. The new restructuring will further reduce the 72-hours response time determined in the [[Cold Start Doctrine]] to under 24 hours. Their resources and structure would be decided based on the threat and terrain at the deployment location. An IBG would include 5,000 troops and sub units from multiple arms like [[Infantry of the Indian Army|infantry]], [[Indian Army Armoured Corps|armoured]], [[Regiment of Artillery (India)|artillery]] and [[Corps of Army Air Defence|air defence]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Peri |first=Dinakar |date=2019-07-28 |title=Army’s first Integrated Battle Groups to be structured by end of next month |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/armys-first-integrated-battle-groups-to-be-structured-by-end-of-next-month/article28739575.ece |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241130085046/https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/armys-first-integrated-battle-groups-to-be-structured-by-end-of-next-month/article28739575.ece/amp |archive-date=2024-11-30 |access-date=2024-11-30 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref> In October 2019, the XVII Corps conducted Exercise Him Vijay, the first field implementation of such a formation, which included three IBGs from the 59 Infantry Division.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |author=Philip |first=Snehesh |date=2019-09-11 |title=Army to debut its Mountain Strike Corps next month, at HimVijay exercise in Arunachal |url=https://theprint.in/defence/army-to-debut-its-mountain-strike-corps-next-month-at-himvijay-exercise-in-arunachal/289902/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241130114335/https://theprint.in/defence/army-to-debut-its-mountain-strike-corps-next-month-at-himvijay-exercise-in-arunachal/289902/ |archive-date=2024-11-30 |access-date=2020-12-20 |work=ThePrint}}</ref>

By May 2022, the IBGs were test-bedded by IX Corps and further validated by the XVII Corps. The Army identified these Corps for total 'IBG-isation', which would be done parallel to the formation of [[Integrated Theatre Command (India)|Integrated Theatre Commands]] to integrate the Armed Forces into larger [[Theater (warfare)|theatres]]. The IBGs will replace the traditional Brigades (3,000-3,500 troops) and Divisions (10,000-12,000 troops) existing in the Army.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Singh |first=Mayank |date=2022-05-11 |title=Integrated Battle Groups are in final stage, says Army Chief |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/May/10/integrated-battle-groups-are-in-final-stage-says-army-chief-2452166.html |access-date=2024-11-30 |website=The New Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Peri |first=Dinakar |date=2022-05-10 |title=Consultations on creation of Integrated Battle Groups being compiled: Army Chief Gen.

As of June 2024, 2 IBGs under 9 Corps and 5 IBGs under 17 Corps had been raised two phases, respectively. These formations were war-gamed and validated in multiple exercises. The Army HQ had earlier submitted the report on Phase-1 of 'IBG-isation' to the [[Defence Ministry of India|Defence Ministry]] while the same for Phase 2 was to be submitted before issuing the official Government Sanction Letter (GSL). The original plan was to first carve out 8-10 IBGs (5,000 to 6,000 troops each) initially and then create more over the years. As of now, the Army has 14 [[Corps]] (40,000 to 70,000 troops each), with four of them being strike formations.<ref name=":3">{{Cite news |date=2024-06-10 |title=New government to decide on Army's integrated battle group plan |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/new-government-to-decide-on-armys-integrated-battle-group-plan/articleshow/110854869.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241130115531/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/new-government-to-decide-on-armys-integrated-battle-group-plan/articleshow/110854869.cms |archive-date=2024-11-30 |access-date=2024-11-30 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref> By November 2024, the Army submitted a draft Government Sanction Letter seeking official approval for the establishment of these IBGs.

On 26 July 2025, on the occasion of 26th [[Kargil Vijay Diwas]], the CoAS General [[Upendra Dwivedi]] introduced the '''Rudra all-arms brigades''' in [[Drass War Memorial]]. The plan includes conversion of 250 single-arm brigades to all-arms ones with integration of fighting elements like infantry, mechanised infantry, armoured (tanks), [[Para (Special Forces)|Special Forces]] as well as support elements like artillery, [[Indian Army Corps of Engineers|engineers]], air defence, [[Indian Army Corps of Signals|electronic warfare]] and UAVs ([[unmanned aerial vehicles]]).
