TRAINING<\/strong><\/p>\n 94. Responsibility of Training\u2014The Area\/Div\/Independent<\/p>\n Sub Area\/Independent Brigade Group\/Independent Brigade<\/p>\n Area\/Independent Brigade Commander\/TA Group Commander<\/p>\n is responsible for the training of all Territorial Army units whose<\/p>\n headquarters are located in the area under his command.<\/p>\n 95. Arrangement for Training Classes\u2014General Officers<\/p>\n Commanding-in-Chief, Commands, will in conjunction with Area\/<\/p>\n Div\/Independent Sub Area\/Independent Brigade Group\/Independent<\/p>\n Brigade Area\/Independent Brigade Commander, arrange<\/p>\n such classes at training centres in their command as may<\/p>\n be necessary, within the limits of the funds available, and publish<\/p>\n the places and dates of assembly as necessary.<\/p>\n 96. Principles of Training\u2014(a) In the limited time available<\/p>\n for the training of the Territorial Army in peace, it is not to be<\/p>\n expected that, as a whole, it can be trained up to the standard<\/p>\n of regular troops, though of course that should be the standard<\/p>\n to be aimed at continuously. The training should, therefore, be<\/p>\n directed to laying the foundation on which more extended training<\/p>\n can be based and should be confined wholly to such elements<\/p>\n as are essential to success in war. Basic principles of training can<\/p>\n only be laid down here. Training directives, which will vary in<\/p>\n accordance with the type of unit, and of necessity, be altered in<\/p>\n order to keep abreast of the latest developments both in weapons<\/p>\n and methods of warfare, will be issued from time to time<\/p>\n by Army Headquarters.<\/p>\n (b) In the case of technical units, efforts must be made to<\/p>\n enrol personnel with the requisite technical qualifications in order<\/p>\n to cut short the period required to bring a unit up to operational<\/p>\n standards.<\/p>\n (c) Basic military training will be imparted to personnel of<\/p>\n technical units before proceeding with their further technical<\/p>\n training.<\/p>\n (d) Training must be as realistic as possible. Distinction<\/p>\n must be made in the methods of training for personnel who have<\/p>\n the requisite qualifications and those starting from scratch, e.g.,<\/p>\n it would be a waste of time to impart preliminary instruction to an<\/p>\n 38<\/p>\n ex-serviceman in handling of a weapon in which he has attained<\/p>\n proficiency prior to his release or discharge from the regular<\/p>\n army. Similarly in the case of technical units, personnel should<\/p>\n be so grouped so that the standard of proficiency of those in<\/p>\n any one group undergoing training is approximately the same.<\/p>\n Thus time can be saved and instruction imparted in accordance<\/p>\n with the requirements of individuals.<\/p>\n During training stress should be laid:<\/p>\n (i) on the adaptability and liveliness and readiness to handle<\/p>\n diverse equipment;<\/p>\n (ii) on initiative and building up of character and self-confidence;<\/p>\n (iii) upon the cleanliness of the body, of clothing and of one\u2019s<\/p>\n surroundings;<\/p>\n (iv) upon physical fitness, nerve and determination.<\/p>\n (v) upon producing an efficient body of officers and noncommissioned<\/p>\n officers to serve both as instructors and<\/p>\n leaders;<\/p>\n (vi) on thoroughly instructing the rank and file, at first individually<\/p>\n and then in small tactical units.<\/p>\n 97. Objects of Training\u2014Territorial Army units, in order that<\/p>\n they may fulfil their functions satisfactorily, must be sufficiently<\/p>\n trained in time of peace :–<\/p>\n (a) to be able, after a short period of intensive training, to<\/p>\n relieve the regular army, in time of war or national<\/p>\n emergency, of garrison, internal security and other less<\/p>\n exacting duties, and later, to take their places in the<\/p>\n field beside the regular army for the defence of their<\/p>\n country, and<\/p>\n (b) in the event of internal disturbances, to act in support<\/p>\n of the Civil Power.<\/p>\n 98. System of Training\u2014The essential feature of efficient<\/p>\n training is that it should be systematic and progressive, which<\/p>\n can only be assured by the adoption of the training system as<\/p>\n laid down in the various training manuals, under which regimental<\/p>\n officers, warrant officers and non-commissioned officers<\/p>\n are responsible to their commanding officer for the success of this<\/p>\n and carrying out entirely the training and instruction of their own<\/p>\n 39<\/p>\n men. The system will be materially assisted by the arrangement<\/p>\n of a definite scheme of instruction for each sub-unit by its<\/p>\n commander under the general supervision of the commanding<\/p>\n officer.<\/p>\n 99. Success of Training\u2014The success of the training will depend<\/p>\n on the standard of military knowledge amongst the officers,<\/p>\n warrant officers and non-commissioned officers and on their ability<\/p>\n to instruct their men intelligently. It is one of the most important<\/p>\n of a commanding officer\u2019s duties to ensure that all his officers and<\/p>\n non-commissioned officers are thoroughly trained both as commanders<\/p>\n and as instructors of their subordinates. He must ensure<\/p>\n that they are afforded facilities for obtaining the necessary instruction<\/p>\n and that they avail themselves of these facilities.<\/p>\n 100. Responsibility for Training\u2014(a) It is the duty of the<\/p>\n sub-unit commanders, assisted by the Adjutant and Staff, to give<\/p>\n instructions, under the orders of the Commanding officer.<\/p>\n (b) The second-in-command under the orders of the commanding<\/p>\n officer is especially charged with the thorough instruction<\/p>\n of officers in their duties and with their preparation for examination.<\/p>\n The fact that courses are to be arranged by Sub-Area or<\/p>\n higher authorities to assist officers to acquire further knowledge<\/p>\n of their profession in no way absolves him from the duty of<\/p>\n instructing officers of all ranks.<\/p>\n 101. Instructional staff from the Regular Army\u2014Instructional<\/p>\n staff may be seconded from the regular army to a unit or a<\/p>\n group of units of the Territorial Army. Their duties, in so far as<\/p>\n the training of the unit is concerned, are mainly those of instructing,<\/p>\n under the orders of the commanding officer, the officers,<\/p>\n warrant officers and non-commissioned officers of the unit, and<\/p>\n of supervising the instruction given by them to the men.<\/p>\n 102. System of Instruction\u2014The instructional staff may also<\/p>\n be used when necessary for the elementary training of recruits.<\/p>\n But the system to be aimed at, as far as possible, is that officers<\/p>\n should be the instructors of their own warrant officers and noncommissioned<\/p>\n officers, and that officers, warrnat officers and noncommissioned<\/p>\n officers, and the instructional staff, should instruct<\/p>\n their own men. By this means only can officers, warrant officer<\/p>\n and non-commissioned officers acquire the habit of command and<\/p>\n powers of instruction and become, as they should be, the leaders<\/p>\n of their men.<\/p>\n 40<\/p>\n 103. Training\u2014Provincial Units\u2014The training of Provincial<\/p>\n units will consist of Recruit and Annual Trainig as prescribed<\/p>\n in Rules 19 and 20.<\/p>\n 104. Training\u2014Urban Units\u2014The training of urban units<\/p>\n will consist of a fixed number of drills to be performed throughout<\/p>\n the year, with a short period of continuous training in camp,<\/p>\n as prescribed in Rules 19 and 20 and the completion of musketry<\/p>\n course laid down.<\/p>\n 105. Voluntary Training\u2014Any enrolled person may be embodied<\/p>\n under the orders of the Area\/Div\/Independent Sub Area\/<\/p>\n Independent Brigade Group\/Independent Brigade Commander\/<\/p>\n TA Group Commander in which the unit is located, for such<\/p>\n periods of voluntary training as may be, from time to time,<\/p>\n sanctioned by the Central Government.<\/p>\n 106. Training Directives\u2014Training directives will be issued<\/p>\n by Army Headquarters from time to time.<\/p>\n 107. Annual Musketry Course\u2014The annual musketry courses<\/p>\n for recruits and for trained soldiers are shown in Appendix XV.<\/p>\n The permanent practice scales of small arms ammunition will be<\/p>\n as authorised in Army Instructions from time to time. For certain<\/p>\n types of units modified range courses may be prescribed by<\/p>\n Army Headquarters. Government ranges when available will be<\/p>\n used for musketry practice with the approval of the Sub-Area<\/p>\n Commander concerned.<\/p>\n 108. Physical Training\u2014Instructions for the Physical Training<\/p>\n of Recruits and Trained soldiers are given in Appendix XVI.<\/p>\n 2. CARE OF ARMS AND AMMUNITION<\/strong><\/p>\n 109. Responsibility of Commanding Officer regarding Care<\/p>\n and Custody of Arms and Ammunition\u2014The Commanding Officer<\/p>\n of a unit of the Territorial Army is responsible for the issue<\/p>\n of the necessary standing orders and instructions for the care<\/p>\n and custody of arms and ammunition in his charge. These orders<\/p>\n and instructions will be based on the orders on this subject containted<\/p>\n in Regulations for the Army and will include such<\/p>\n special orders and instructions as may be required for the care<\/p>\n and custody of arms and ammunition when the unit is in camp.<\/p>\n 110. Tampering with Arms and Equipment\u2014The following<\/p>\n order will be fixed to the doors of all armories and orderly<\/p>\n rooms :-<\/p>\n 41<\/p>\n \u201cMembers of the Territorial Army must not under any pretext<\/p>\n tamper with their arms and equipment. If the action or any<\/p>\n other part of a weapon is found to have been tampered with, it<\/p>\n will be repaired at the expense of the individual concerned.<\/p>\n Disciplinary action will also be taken against the individual(s)<\/p>\n concerned for wilful neglect\u201d.<\/p>\n 111. Recovery of Cost of Repair to Arms\u2014The State undertakes<\/p>\n the repair of arms issued to units of the Territorial Armywhen<\/p>\n repairs are required owing to fair wear and tear, no charge<\/p>\n is made, but charges for repairs and replacements due to any<\/p>\n other cause than fair wear and tear will be assessed under the<\/p>\n rules in force in Regulations for the army in India and recovered<\/p>\n from the unit or individual concerned.<\/p>\n 112. Examination by Assistant Inspector of Armourers\u2014<\/p>\n Assistant Inspector of Armourers will examine and report on the<\/p>\n arms of units of the Territorial Army as in the case of a regular<\/p>\n unit as also on the work of the Unit Armourer.<\/p>\n 113. Precautions\u2014Cartridges Drill and Blank Ammunition\u2014<\/p>\n Before blank ammunition or cartridges drill are issued on parade,<\/p>\n the officer or instructor will personally inspect all rifles, magazines,<\/p>\n pouches and bandoilers to ascertain that they contain no ball<\/p>\n ammunition.<\/p>\n 114. Rules for Storage of Ammunition\u2014The Rules for storage<\/p>\n of ammunition in regimental magazines will be observed, and<\/p>\n in every magazine a copy of IAFO 2638 will be prominently displayed.<\/p>\n 115. Storage of Ammunition\u2014The storage of ammunition<\/p>\n on charge of unit of the Territorial Army will be arranged by<\/p>\n the competent military authority, who will decide whether the<\/p>\n whole or any part is to be kept in the magazine or magazines<\/p>\n of such unit, or in the magazine of a regular unit, or in an<\/p>\n arsenal.<\/p>\n 116. Use or Disposal of Ammunition other than for Government<\/p>\n Purpose\u2014The use or disposal of ammunition issued to a<\/p>\n unit of the Territorial Army other than that for Government<\/p>\n purpose is strictly prohibited.<\/p>\n 42<\/p>\n 117. Unauthorised possession of Ammunition\u2014A soldier of<\/p>\n the Territorial Army, unless otherwise ordered, is strictly forbidden:-<\/p>\n (a) to carry any rounds of ball ammunition to a place of<\/p>\n parade or instruction, or<\/p>\n (b) to take any Government ammunition away from a rifle<\/p>\n range or place of instruction.<\/p>\n An order to this effect will be published annually in unit orders<\/p>\n at the commencement of training. This provision will also be<\/p>\n embodied in unit standing ordes.<\/p>\n 118. Issue of Ammunition for Range Practices\u2014Ammunition<\/p>\n for Musketry practice or competition will always be issued<\/p>\n on the range. Ammunition will be conveyed to the range in bulk<\/p>\n under unit arrangements.<\/p>\n 119.

Procedure for Controlling the Expenditure of Funds<\/p>\n Allotted for the Maintenance of the Territorial Army Under<\/p>\n Main Head 2 of Defence Services Estimates\u2014Effective\u2014It is the<\/p>\n responsibility of the authorities to whom allotments are made to<\/p>\n watch progress of expenditure and to see that the expenditure<\/p>\n does not exceed allotment.<\/p>\n (a) Budget Estimates for the ensuing year\u2014When the estimates<\/p>\n included under a detailed head are controlled by Army<\/p>\n Headquarters, the head is said to be centrally controlled. No<\/p>\n estimates are required to be submitted by local authorities under<\/p>\n these heads. Details of (i) centrally controlled heads and (ii)<\/p>\n authority at Headquarters responsible for the control of expenditure<\/p>\n and initial preparation of the budget are shown in Appendix<\/p>\n XXIV.<\/p>\n When the provision included under a detailed head is distributed<\/p>\n to the local controlling authorities the head is said to<\/p>\n be locally controlled. Details of (i) locally controlled heads (ii)<\/p>\n the officers responsible for the preparation of these estimates and<\/p>\n control of expenditure and (iii) the channel through, and the<\/p>\n dates on which the Budged Estimates are required to be submitted<\/p>\n are given in Appendix XXV. The estimates of these heads<\/p>\n will be prepared by Units on I.A.F.(TA)-3. All estimates in respect<\/p>\n of locally controlled heads are forwarded through Controllers<\/p>\n of Defence Accounts who will exercise a check on the estimates<\/p>\n and record any corrections found necessary with reference<\/p>\n to the sanctions of competent authority or the progress of expenditure.<\/p>\n They will give full reasons in support of all modifications.<\/p>\n Corrections to the original estimates of locally controlled<\/p>\n heads should be furnished to Army Headquarters in the same<\/p>\n manner as the original estimates so as to reach them not later<\/p>\n than the 15th December, and thereafter major changes if any,<\/p>\n should be intimated as and when known but not later that 15th<\/p>\n January.<\/p>\n (b) Periodical Estimates\u2014The process of estimating does<\/p>\n not end with the preparation of the original Budget Estimates for<\/p>\n the ensuing year but continues throughout the year. The various<\/p>\n other periodical estimates in respect of locally controlled heads<\/p>\n that are to be prepared in the course of a year and sent to Headquarters<\/p>\n in addition to the original Budget Estimates, are:–<\/p>\n (i) Preliminary Report\u2014This estimate will show the extent<\/p>\n to which the sanctioned Budget Estimates for the<\/p>\n 57<\/p>\n year are affected by circumstances known or orders<\/p>\n promulgated either before or after 1st April which may<\/p>\n necessitate modifications in those estimates and will be<\/p>\n based on the actual expenditure for the first three<\/p>\n months. The estimate is required to be submitted by<\/p>\n local authorities to Army Headquarters through the<\/p>\n Controller of Defence Accounts concerned so as to reach<\/p>\n them by 15th August.<\/p>\n (ii) Preliminary Revised Estimates\u2014This estimate is a<\/p>\n forecast as accurate as possible for what the actual<\/p>\n results for the year are likely to be. All important<\/p>\n changes tending to increase or decrease the budget<\/p>\n estimates as indicated by actual figures available or by<\/p>\n other circumstances which have come to notice are taken<\/p>\n into account, and will be based on the actuals for the<\/p>\n five months. Information required for this estimate<\/p>\n will be furnished by the local authorities to Army<\/p>\n Headquarters through the Controller of Defence Accounts<\/p>\n concerned so as to reach them by the 30th<\/p>\n October.<\/p>\n (iii) Revised Estimates\u2014This estimate is by way of corrections<\/p>\n to Preliminary Revised Estimates which is a more<\/p>\n accurate estimate of what the results of the year are<\/p>\n likely to be and is based on the actuals for the first<\/p>\n seven months of the year. This estimate will be furnished<\/p>\n by local authorities to Army Headquarters through<\/p>\n the Controller of Defence Accounts concerned so as to<\/p>\n reach them by the 15th December. Major changes, if<\/p>\n any, to this estimate will be notified by local authorities<\/p>\n to Army Headquarters in the usual manner as and<\/p>\n when known but not later than 15th January.<\/p>\n (iv) Modified Appropriation\u2014This is a final estimate for<\/p>\n the year and will be based on the latest known actuals,<\/p>\n and the likely expenditure during the remaining<\/p>\n period of the year. This estimate will be furnished by<\/p>\n local authorities to Army Headquarters through the<\/p>\n Controller of Defence Accounts concerned so as to<\/p>\n reach them by the 10th March.<\/p>\n (c) Control by General Officers Commanding\u2014The authorities<\/p>\n enumerated in column 4 of Appendix XXV are responsible<\/p>\n for exercising an effective and continuous control over the<\/p>\n expenditure under the heads under their control so as to see that<\/p>\n the expenditure does not exceed allotment. To enable them to<\/p>\n 58<\/p>\n exercise this check, Controllers of Defence Accounts will furnish<\/p>\n monthly to the local controlling authorities statements of the<\/p>\n actual expenditure compiled under those detailed heads immediately<\/p>\n after the monthly compilations are closed. These statements<\/p>\n will show the serial number of claims admitted in audit<\/p>\n and the amounts debited against the allotment.<\/p>\n (d) Reappropriation of Funds\u2014(i) The local controlling<\/p>\n authorities shown in column 4 of Appendix XXV may, with the<\/p>\n concurrence of the Controller of Defence Accounts concerned.<\/p>\n reappropriate saving under one detailed head to meet authorised<\/p>\n expenditure under another detailed head of the same minor head<\/p>\n under their control within the respective areas. Any excess or<\/p>\n savings anticipated after reappropriations between the detailed<\/p>\n heads will be reported to Army Headquarters, through the Preliminary<\/p>\n Revised Estimates which, if accepted, should be viewed<\/p>\n as the modified appropriation for limiting expenditure. Any<\/p>\n changes made at Army Headquarters, in the preliminary Revised<\/p>\n Estimates, will be intimated to the local controlling autborities<\/p>\n so as to reach them by the 15th December each year. In<\/p>\n the absence of any such intimation local controlling authorities<\/p>\n should assume that their estimates have been accepted. Transfers<\/p>\n betwen Commands, etc, may be sanctioned by the controlling<\/p>\n authority at Army Headquarters with the concurrence of the<\/p>\n Ministry of Defence(Finance).<\/p>\n (ii) Variations to the preliminary revised estimates may be<\/p>\n reported through the revised estimates and corrections thereto.<\/p>\n Any changes made in the revised estimates by the controlling<\/p>\n authority at Army Headquarters will be intimated to the local<\/p>\n controlling authorities by the 15th February annually. In the<\/p>\n absence of any such intimation, local controlling authorities will<\/p>\n assume that the revised estimates have been accepted as modified<\/p>\n appropriation figures. The authorities at Army Headquarters<\/p>\n will take into consideration excesses and savings reported by the<\/p>\n local authorities in framing their periodical estimates, such as<\/p>\n the Preliminary Report; Preliminary Revised and Revised Estimates<\/p>\n for the sub head as a whole.<\/p>\n (e) Excess over Estimates\u2014In cases where excess over<\/p>\n modified allotments under locally controlled heads are noticed<\/p>\n after the close of the year, they should be brought to the notice<\/p>\n of the local authorities, by the Controllers of Defence Accounts<\/p>\n concerned. Local authorities will report all such excesses with full<\/p>\n explanations for the excesses to the controlling authority at<\/p>\n Army Headquarters through the Controller of Defence Accounts<\/p>\n 59<\/p>\n concerned. When this has been done the Controller of Defence<\/p>\n Accounts can remove his objection to the excesses.<\/p>\n 2. PAY AND ALLOWNACES OF STAFF<\/p>\n 164.
