The exercise was conducted from April 12 to April 25, 2026, at the Gurumsaray Field Training Area.

The Indian contingent primarily consisted of troops from the Indian Army along with support from the Indian Air Force. The Uzbek contingent included personnel from both its Army and Air Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Focus_Areas_of_Training\"><\/span><strong>Focus Areas of Training<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exercise focused on counter-terrorism operations, semi-mountain warfare, and tactical coordination.

These activities helped improve coordination and combat readiness in challenging terrains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Training_Activities\"><\/span><strong>Key Training Activities<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The training progressed through various phases, starting from tactical drills and special arms training to complex joint operations.
