* The nature of the threat. * Traditional tactics (briefly). * The evolution in tactics (e.g., intelligence-led, precision, community engagement). * Specific examples (operations, technologies, units).

Cross-Cutting Themes: — Integrate discussions on:

* Technology: How AI, drones, sensors, and networked command-and-control have transformed operations. * Legal & Ethical Dimensions: The impact of AFSPA, UAPA, NSA, and the need for human rights adherence. * Challenges: Inter-agency coordination, logistics, human intelligence, collateral damage.

Incorporate current affairs examples to demonstrate contemporary relevance.
