New Delhi: The fourth edition of the India-Japan joint military exercise ‘Dharma Guardian’ will commence on Friday at Camp Imazu in the Shiga province of Japan.
This annual exercise will bolster bilateral relations between India and Japan and enhance the level of defence cooperation between the two forces.
Troops of the Garhwal Rifles Regiment of the Indian Army and an Infantry Regiment from the Middle Army of the Japan Ground Self Defence Force (JGSDF) will be participating in the exercise this year, the defence ministry informed.
Both the Indian and Japanese forces will be enhancing interoperability in planning and execution through the exercise which covers platoon-level joint training on operations in jungle and semi-urban/urban terrain.
“The joint exercise will enable the two armies to share best practices in tactics, techniques, and procedures of conducting tactical operations under a UN Mandate, in addition to developing inter-operability, bonhomie, camaraderie, and friendship between the two armies. The training will focus primarily on a high degree of physical fitness and sharing of drills at the tactical level,” the defense ministry said.
