The Indian National Army (Hindi: आज़ाद हिन्द फ़ौज Azad Hind Fauj), or INA is the primary military organization responsible for the territorial security and defense of the Indian Social Republic. The President of India serves as the de jure supreme commander of the INA (the Prime Minister is the de facto commander). The INA is administered by the Ministry of Defense and is composed of the Indian National Army Ground Force (INAGF), the Indian National Army Navy (INAN), and the Indian National Army Air Force (INAAF). Auxiliary services include the Indian National Army Coast Guard (INACG), the Paramilitary Forces, and the Strategic Forces Command.
The armed forces retain much of the organizational structure established by the English. However, the armed forces are an essential character of India's strategic importance, power and capabilities, which have increased after India became a declared nuclear weapons state.
