New Delhi: The Southern Command of the Indian Army, executing the mantra of JAI (Jointness, Aatmanirbharta and Innovation), is participating in a series of tri-service exercises under the broader framework of Exercise Trishul to validate full-spectrum land-sea-air integration.
Reflecting the expanded multi-domain capabilities of the armed forces and focussing on Atmanirbharta in the defense sector, Exercise Trishul began with mission-centric validation to strengthen integrated readiness across multiple domains.
“Covering electronic warfare, cyber, drone and counter-drone operations, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance as well as air defense control and reporting, the exercise reaffirms tri-service preparedness to dominate both virtual and physical domains through seamless land, sea and air integration for coordinated joint fires,” an official said.
In the Thar Desert, Southern Command formations are conducting intensive integrated maneuvers through Marujwala and Akhand Prahar exercises to validate combined arms operations, mobility and joint fires integration under realistic conditions.
This training will culminate in a mega war exercise validating precision targeting and multi-domain coordination, reaffirming the Army’s commitment to transformation through rigorous training and operational validation.
“A joint exercise in the Kutch sector, involving the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and BSF, is practicing integrated operational capability in close coordination with the civil administration, reflecting the military-civilian fusion approach for integrated national security,” the official said.
The final phase of Exercise Trishul will culminate in a joint amphibious exercise off the Saurashtra coast, which will include beach landing operations by amphibious forces of Southern Command, validating full-spectrum land-sea-air integration and underscoring the Indian Armed Forces’ ability to project power and synergy across multiple domains.
Exercise Trishul is a testament to the armed forces’ commitment to jointness, self-reliance and innovation. It also serves as a testing ground for the Indian Army’s Decade of Transformation initiative, built around the five pillars of jointness and integration, force restructuring, modernization and technical communication, improving systems and processes and enhancing human resource skills to adapt to the changing character of warfare.
