A Word with You

Dear Learners

NIOS welcomes the learners to its course Military Studies which is for Senior Secondary
Learners. The course is meant to develop the interest and deepen the understanding of
learners in the field of Military Studies. Military Studies is very important to know about the
need of Armed Forces and their role in the field of security.

This course has been divided in two parts and has 06 modules divided into 18 lessons. The
modules are : Military Studies, Structure and Role of the Forces, Security and
Geo-Strategy, Indian Armed Forces : Weapons and War Equipment and
Modernisation, Warfare and its Types, Armed Forces and its Role in Internal
Security

Each module deals with a separate concept and are interlinked with each other to maintain
the continuity of the content. Five lessons out of 18 have been earmarked for Tutor Marked
Assignment (TMA). These are Lesson No.2 (Concept and Evolution of Military Studies),
Lesson No. 5 (Special Forces), Lesson No. 8 (Geo-politics), Lesson No.13 (Biological
Warfare) and Lesson No. 14 (Chemical Warfare). Remaining 13 lessons are meant for
public examination. We hope that this course will attract the learners who have a keen interest
in armed forces. The course is related to enhance the knowledge of working military personnel
and prepare the young generation for army jobs.
