ABOUT

National security is one of the important aspects on which the government of a country usually focuses on as the budget allocated to it is has a major percentage in their GDP, though countries are trying to maintain good relationships, promote peace around the world and try to avoid war or clashes, still, Budget on Defense has been increased year after year.

USA spends more budget on defence combined 10 countries in the G20!

DEFENSE DEPARTMENTS

There are many Departments in Defense but the most known would-be Army, Air force and Navy. These Departments have agencies that report to the national level. Police Doesn’t come under defence as they report to the state, so in the Federal type of democracy, the State government has powers and the rights of the Police.

Defence departments have been assigned in such a way that certain operations they are allotted to

Army-The Ground or land forces consist of Corps, Divisions, Brigade, Battalion.

The field army is responsible for controlling borders situated inland, for international breaches.

The other way to classify an army would be by its formation, A particular army Is distinguished by several people and by their respective regiment.

Navy-The maritime force has a principle focus designated to control the coast surrounding the border of their country. The base of the navy is a port that is specialized for operations.

Navy is classified into:

Blue water-To operate far from the coastal waters of their nation, these ships primarily track the moments in the water for long periods and have logistical support.

Brown Water-It operates the coastal periphery along inland waterways, where containers with large vessels coming from other countries by trading or from exporting are checked, these vessels cannot readily enter.

Green Water-A localized force which operates the waters inland and provides support to the Bluewater navy.

Air force- The air force comes under the national military branch, it’s the aerial force of the army and navy which controls the sky of a country. The air force is divided into the same manner as the military it has 3 types of fighters:

Fighter, Attacker and Bomber which is directly reported to regiments and squadrons.

After the security of a nation, some security to VIP is given, people who are provided with this security have a risk which involves death threats then local police and government protect these ‘important ‘individual depending upon the scale of the threat.

5 types of security covers are given to an individual that is important to the national interest, Like the President, Prime minister, Vice president, Chief justice and so on, are SPG, Z+, Z, X and Y+.

Y+ Controversy

The Y+ security cover is given only to 15 people in our nation like The Chief justice of our country, but this cover was given to a Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut without any threat or proof of threat! This proves that people who are close to the government can get security from the money of taxpayers!

CONCLUSION

National security involves the Defence of our nation which is from protecting the borders of our country to protecting VIP’s and VVIP’s all this money comes from the taxpayers! Approximately 5-10 per cent of our GDP is given to defence while Education and Health combined is about 8 per cent, Even developed countries are spending so much money on defence, Still in Our country we face problem w=in the borders and faults in the Police Are quite evident due to a bad system in which Police are puppets of Politicians, the Main focus is to protect people influenced with Government while in our country for namesake everyone is said to be equal.
