Indian Army, IAF conduct synergised exercise to enhance inter-operability in Jammu region

Jammu, Mar 12 (UNI) In a significant demonstration of joint operational readiness, the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force (IAF) on Wednesday conducted a Synergized Interoperability Exercise in the Jammu region.
The exercise aimed to strengthen coordination between ground and air forces, ensuring seamless integration of aerial and land-based operations in dynamic battlefield scenarios, said Lt Col Suneel Bartwal, PRO and Spokesperson, Ministry of Defence, Jammu.
By refining joint operational tactics, he said that this exercise reinforced the ability of both forces to respond swiftly and effectively to real-time challenges, particularly in high-threat environments.
Under the aegis of Tiger Division, the exercise simulated real-world operational conditions, with IAF helicopters executing a precise airlift of Army troops from a designated mounting base.
The troops were then inserted into terrain characterized by dense vegetation and thick undergrowth, he said adding that this complex insertion manoeuvre tested the forces’ ability to operate cohesively in challenging environments, where mobility and coordination are crucial for mission success.
Following the insertion, the troops executed a simulated combat assault, engaging in coordinated
manoeuvres designed to neutralize threats in a high-risk environment, the spokesman said.
He added that the exercise also incorporated surveillance operations, precision firepower tactics, and rapid troop extraction, ensuring that personnel were prepared for complex missions requiring agility and strategic decision-making.
"The training provided an opportunity for soldiers and aircrew to rehearse real-time battlefield contingencies, improving reaction times and enhancing overall preparedness," he stated.
The Indian Army and the Indian Air Force continue to invest in joint training initiatives, enhancing their ability to conduct multi-domain operations in varied terrains, said the spokesman.
This synergized interoperability exercise reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining a high state of operational readiness, ensuring that both forces remain well-prepared to safeguard national security and respond to emerging threats effectively, he said.
