The deliberations were made during the Army Commanders' Conference, an apex biannual event which facilitates conceptual level deliberations culminating in important policy decisions.
The conference was scheduled for April 2020 and but had to postpone due to COVID-19 pandemic and later it was decided to organise it in two phases, an Indian Army spokesperson said.

The deliberations would include interactive sessions with Department of Military Affairs and Department of Defence, discussions on agenda sponsored by Command Headquarters and deliberations on ongoing studies of logistics and administrative issues.
