Each soldier carried his full operational load — weapons, equipment, and survival gear — replicating battlefield conditions in high-altitude areas.
While the Army continues to integrate modern technology, drones, and smart logistics into its operations, such exercises remain indispensable.
They ensure that soldiers are prepared to operate even in situations where technology may be constrained, reaffirming the primacy of human endurance and adaptability.
Lt Gen Zubin A Minwalla, GOC, Trishakti Corps, stated: “Technology enhances our capabilities, but it is the soldier’s grit and teamwork that ultimately wins battles. This march reinforces confidence in our ability to fight and prevail in the harshest conditions.”
The successful completion of this march reflects the Trishakti Warriors’ commitment to operational readiness and their role in safeguarding the nation’s frontiers in the eastern Himalayas.
