Part II describes the harsh and hostile terrain that exists on both sides of the Line of Control, the theatre of the war itself, in adapting to which the Indian soldier displayed great qualities of leadership and professionalism. Part III details the build-up by the Indian Army before conducting offen-sive operations, and the actual conduct of battle from Corps down to Brigade.
