General Upendra Dwivedi, the outgoing Army Chief who retires on June 30, is accorded a ceremonial farewell at South Block, where he receives a guard of honour. In remarks linked to his transition out of service, Dwivedi says future wars will be more joint, integrated and theatre-oriented, indicating a shift toward coordinated operations across services and focused planning at the level of specific operational theatres. Both reports describe him as a senior officer with over 40 years of service, and both place his comments in the context of the formal retirement function held on the lawns of South Block. The sources do not provide additional operational details or specific examples of policy changes, but they are aligned on the broad themes of how future conflicts are expected to be fought and the ceremonial nature of his farewell. The reports present the remarks as part of his concluding public engagements as Army Chief, with his retirement date and the guard of honour consistently mentioned.
