In a pivotal display of military integration, the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Gajraj Corps visited Umroi Military Station to supervise the high-intensity ‘Exercise Yudh Kaushal 2.0.’ This significant exercise illustrated a high level of collaboration among the Indian Army’s Gajraj Corps, the Indian Air Force (IAF), Army Aviation units, and academic professionals from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT Guwahati).
The exercise highlighted the practical application of advanced Techniques, Tactics, and Procedures (TTPs), which integrate modern equipment designed to improve operational effectiveness. Critical elements of the exercise included layered drone operations, the establishment of an uninterrupted surveillance grid, precision firing integration, and rapid objective capture. This collaborative framework reflects the Indian military’s dedication to embracing state-of-the-art technologies and innovative strategies that are increasingly essential in modern warfare contexts.
During the visit, the GOC also evaluated the progress being made at the Thimayya Training Node. Named in honor of General K.S. Thimayya, a noted former Chief of Army Staff, this facility is being established to enhance the combat readiness of the Indian Army amid an evolving security landscape. It is designed to offer specialized training aimed at improving the operational capabilities of army personnel.
The GOC praised the dedication of all ranks involved in the exercise, acknowledging the exceptional synergy and operational excellence they demonstrated. He encouraged the personnel to remain prepared for any operational contingencies, reinforcing the Indian Army’s relentless pursuit of excellence and adaptability in responding to emerging security threats.
This exercise not only exemplifies a decade of transformation in the operational strategies of the Indian Army but also underscores a commitment to a technology-infused, future-ready force. It highlights the Indian military’s determination to safeguard national security through innovation and collaborative efforts across different branches and institutions.
