The second edition of the Joint Commanders' Conference was held in Jaipur, Rajasthan, on 7 and 8 May 2026. The conference brought together the top leadership of India's armed forces.
It was attended by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and the Chief of Defence Staff, General Anil Chauhan, along with senior commanders. The theme of the conference was 'Military Capability in New Domains'.
Discussions focused on emerging security challenges such as cyber warfare, space security, cognitive warfare and unmanned systems. These are areas where future conflicts are increasingly likely to be fought, alongside traditional land, sea and air operations.
The conference also stressed self-reliance in defence production under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative and the importance of civil-military fusion. Such meetings help the three services plan jointly and improve coordination, which is central to India's move towards integrated theatre commands.
