State Cabinet takes key decisions towards decentralised governance
PASIGHAT,Jan 31: The Indian Army and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) conducted Phase-II of the joint firing exercise ‘Agni Pariksha’ from January 25-28 at Tezu, Arunachal Pradesh, aimed at enhancing inter-force combat synergy and operational preparedness.
The four-day exercise witnessed Spearhead Gunners of Spear Corps, along with personnel from Artillery Regiment, Infantry Battalions and the ITBP, participating in a unique collaborative firepower training initiative validated through live artillery firing. The exercise represented an important step forward in strengthening joint operational integration and coordination.
The key focus of the exercise was to familiarise non-gunner personnel with artillery procedures and the execution of various firing missions. Infantry and ITBP troops were trained to independently conduct multiple artillery firing drills under the supervision of experienced gunners, thereby improving their understanding of firepower integration in battlefield scenarios.
By exposing personnel to realistic combat conditions, the exercise helped enhance mutual trust, coordination and responsiveness among the participating forces. DIPRO
