Additionally, the exercise aims to promote inter-operability, camaraderie, and friendship between the two armies.
The exercise will include a Command Post Exercise (CPX) at the Battalion level and a Company-level Field Training Exercise (FTX). Participants will be put through various simulated situations, testing their operational skills, showcasing their tactical drills, and learning from each other's operational experiences.
As per the official press release from the Ministry of Defense, the exercise is a significant milestone in the defence cooperation between the Indian Army and the British Army, which will strengthen the bilateral relations between the two nations even further.
