Armies of India and Japan began their first-ever joint military
exercise on November 1 at a jungle warfare school in Mizoram's Vairengte
with a focus on strengthening counter-terror cooperation, officials

The focus of the two-week-long exercise 'Dharma
Guardian-2018" will be to enhance tactical skills against global
terrorism and increase inter-operability between the two forces, the
Army said in a statement.

"The objective of the exercise is to build and promote
Army to Army relation in addition to exchange skills and experiences of
both the armies," the statement said.
The exercise will comprise a balance of indoor classes and outdoor training activities.
Both
the armies will jointly train, plan and execute a series of well
developed tactical drills for neutralisation of likely threats that may
be encountered in urban warfare scenario, it said, adding that the
exercise will contribute immensely in developing mutual understanding
and respect for each other's military.
