With this stimulus to speed and agreement, Singh gave precise details of the arms, function and organization of India's border patrols, his own operations prior to the ambush, and the location of Indian check posts throughout Ladakh.

To cope with these problems, Owings designed a kind of concrete saddle over the ridge, anchored by eight caissons reaching down into bedrock.
