India-US military exercise concludes in US

The exercise ended at Joint Base Lewis McChord (JBLM), Washington, yesterday.

It progressed from platoon-level training on basic manoeuvres in the initial days to company-level operations.

Helicopter-based mobilisation of teams for quick response was also practised, a statement issued here said.

"The two armies have gained from each other's expertise and experience in conduct of platoon and company-level operations.

"In addition, the Indian contingent got a first-hand experience of operating with the Stryker Infantry Combat Vehicle. The US Army gained insight on the training of an infantry unit in a mountainous terrain," the statement said.
