<p>According to <a href="https://en.insidesyriamc.com/" rel="nofollow" target="blank">Inside Syria Media Center</a> military sources in Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), SDF-Kurds will join the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) as “Northern Syria Protection units” after the establishment of the federal system in Syria.</p>

<p>A Rojava official and the joint chief of defence in Syrian Kurdistan (Rojava), Rezan Gilo stated that the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have no problem joining the Syrian army if a federal state is awarded in northern Syria (Kurdish autonomous territories as part of the federal Syria). They are now in process of considering the possibility <a href="http://www.kurdistan24.net/en/news/ef87496d-e1c4-41e9-a176-10139e5d5a46" rel="nofollow" target="blank">of joining</a> the SAA.</p>

<p>“There is no problem for our forces to join the Syrian army if a new Syrian constitution is drafted on a federal basis and the rights of all the Syrian components are reserved,” Gilo stated.</p>

<p>Riad Darar of the Syrian Democratic Council confirmed this.

Syrian Kurds are beginning to realise the hopelessness of cooperation with the American side, Hence, SDF-Kurds may sign a secret deal with Syria and join the Syrian Arab Army (SAA)

Opinion: Disillusioned with US, Kurds want to join Arab Army

<p>More than 5,000 troops of the Indian Army's only Mountain Strike Corps will carry out a massive war game along with the Air Force in Arunachal Pradesh in October where Forces will be deployed to practice real war-like situation on the eastern front of the country.</p>

<p>The exercise will be the first of its kind along the China border by the newly-raised 17 Mountain Strike Corps which has been preparing for it under the Eastern Command for the last five to six months now.</p>

<p>"As part of the war games, the troops of the Tezpur-based 4 Corps will be deployed at a high altitude location to defend their 'territory' while a brigade-sized force (over 2,500 troops) of the 17 Mountain Strike Corps would be airlifted by the Indian Air Force to 'launch an offensive' against them," top Army sources told ANI.</p>

<p>The Indian Air Force will airlift the troops using its latest transport aircraft including the C-17, C-130J Super Hercules and the AN-32 to airlift the army troops from Baghdogra in West Bengal and deploy them close to the 'war zone' in Arunachal Pradesh, they said.</p>

<p>The troops of the 17 Mountain Strike Corps would be from the 59 Mountain Division and will include armoured regiments including battle tanks and infantry combat vehicles along with light howitzers and strike elements.</p>

<p>To make the 17 Mountain Strike Corps more effective during wartime in a mountainous region with China, the fighting formations under it are being converted into Integrated Battle Groups (IBGs) as part of Army Chief Gen Bipin Rawat's restructuring process.</p>

<p>Once the IBGs are formed, the formations will be converted into leaner and more efficient fighting units with the ability to strike deeper and faster against enemy targets, the sources said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>An IBG, which will be a little smaller than a division, will integrate the existing elements of infantry, tank regiments, artillery, engineers and signals. It will comprise six battalions of these elements and will be directly under a Corps.</p>

<p>Once the Army converts all its required fighting formations into IBGs, it would lead to the elimination of the brigades in the fighting structure.</p>

<p>The first IBG is coming up under the 9 Corps which looks after parts of Jammu and Punjab border with Pakistan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Two more IBGs are ready for conversion under the 17 Mountain strike Corps and 33 Corps which are both tasked to fight wars on the Chinese front in the Northeast.</p>
