The Andaman & Nicobar Island Command is best described as a unified command comprising Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard.
The Andaman and Nicobar Command (ANC) is the first and only tri-service theatre command of the Indian Armed Forces, based at Port Blair in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It was created in 2001 to safeguard India’s strategic interests in Southeast Asia and the Strait of Malacca.
A unified command integrates elements from different branches of the military under a single commander for specific geographical areas or functions. The ANC is unique in India as it comprises assets and personnel from the Indian Army, Indian Navy, Indian Air Force, and the Indian Coast Guard operating under a unified operational command structure.
