On the other hand to my knowledge the army has promoted all officers to both command and staff positions essentially discarding the previous policy of having two separate cadres.
The separation of the cadres is still in vogue as I know.
Further, one joins the Army to command and not to push files.
Therefore, it is a silly policy to segregate officers in a Command stream and a Staff Only stream.
This was originally enforced by Gen Rodriguez. A most unimaginative policy.
Rodriguez and Deepak Kappor are both Artillery Officers and this policy assists in ensuring the promotion path of favourites cleared of those who could be a challenge if there was only one stream to select from.
