	Description:		The Indian Army learnt its lessons in the conduct of counter terror (CT) operations required in the context of Jammu and Kashmir, very early. The essentials were first that large-scale operations tire troops and achieve little except area domination. To be successful, operations must be kept as small as possible, and be backed by quick response capability for contingencies. Second, small-size operations are best done through reliable intelligence generation, as without actionable intelligence no force can succeed. While the Army itself has its internal intelligence entity, it realised very early that the best intelligence comes when you have local operatives and agencies. Thus its dependence for intelligence has largely been on the J&K Police, which too has two main elements that play the intelligence game, the State CID and the Special Operations Group (SOG).
