Exercise is being conducted as part of regular training where the Strike Corps is practicing and honing war fighting skills. One airborne brigade (Parachute Brigade) is being dropped tonight behind simulated enemy lines to address objectives in depth by vertical envelopment and to maintain high tempo of operations. Composite infantry and mechanised columns of Strike Corps will manoeuvre deep into enemy territory and link up with the airborne force. Networked radars, UAVs and aerial surveillance platforms will ensure continuous flow of information resulting in battlefield transparency and enable commanders to assess and suitably modify their operational plans to meet the emerging challenges and exploit fleeting opportunities. Mobile communication systems integrated with terrestrial network will provide efficient communication on move across the battlefield. During his visit, the COAS reviewed complex and integrated operational manoeuvres of the formation. Synergy between Army and Air Force in executing air-land battle and the ability to orchestrate battle in network centric environment were successfully validated.
The COAS appreciated the standard of training of the formations and complimented them on their battle readiness.
