The 16th edition of the India-Mongolia Joint Military Exercise, Nomadic Elephant 2024, concluded after an intense 14 days of training and collaboration.

The closing ceremony took place at the Joint Training Node in Umroi, graced by Maj Gen Ganbyamba Sunrev, Chief of General Staff of the Mongolian Armed Forces, and Lt Gen Zubin A Minwalla, of the Trishakti Corps.

The exercise commenced on July 3, 2024.

The Indian contingent, comprised of 45 personnel, was represented by a battalion of SIKKIM SCOUTS along with personnel from other arms and services. The Mongolian contingent was being represented by personnel from 150 Quick Reaction Force Battalion of the Mongolian Army.

As the ceremony unfolded, both leaders engaged in a meaningful dialogue about future joint operations, symbolizing the deepened ties and mutual respect cultivated throughout the exercise. This exchange highlighted their unwavering commitment to fostering partnership in the realm of regional security.

Following the ceremony, the Indian contingent showcased their advanced capabilities through a spectacular display of cutting-edge weapons and equipment.

This exhibition underscored the technological strides made under the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative, reinforcing India’s growing defense potential.

Troops from both nations eagerly interacted, sharing experiences and insights, further strengthening the bonds formed during the training. The event culminated with remarks that underscored the importance of unity in addressing global challenges, marking a triumphant conclusion to a vital exercise that lays the groundwork for future joint operations under the United Nations mandate.

Exercise Nomadic Elephant enabled both sides to share their best practices in tactics, techniques, and procedures for conducting joint operations and also facilitated the development of interoperability, bonhomie, and camaraderie between the two armies. This will also enhance the level of defence cooperation, further augmenting bilateral relations between the two friendly nations. (ANI)
