Guwahati, Nov 14 (IBNS): The Indian and Japanese Army on Wednesday completed their joint military exercise, ‘Dharma Guadian – 2018’  at Counter Insurgency and Jungle Warfare School in Mizoram's Vairengte.

It is a significant step towards fostering military and diplomatic ties between the two countries.

The primary focus of the exercise was to train and equip the contingents to undertake joint counter insurgency and counter terrorist operations in urban and semi urban terrain.

Kohima based Defence PRO Colonel Chiranjeet Konwar said that, the participants were initially familiarized with each other's organisational structure, tactical drills and planning process before graduating to joint tactical exercises.          

The contingents honed their tactical and technical skills in a wide spectrum of counter insurgency operations in including joint training on weapons and equipment, field training exercise and handling of improved explosive devices.

Commanders at various levels from both sides were exercised to work in close coordination to receive and collate information jointly, plan operations and issue suitable orders to respective integrated groups.

The exercise provided an ideal platform for both contingents to share their operational experience and expertise while also being instrumental in broadening the interoperability and cooperation between armies of India and Japan.

Observers of both the nations appreciated the professionally conducted training which resulted in instilling confidence in each other's capability.
