COUNTER TERRORISM TRAINING IN FULL SWING AT EXERCISE "HAND IN HAND"

The Contingents of the Indian and People's Liberation Army of China are jointly undergoing intensive Counter Terrorism/Insurgency training exercises in the mountainous terrains of Belgaum, Karnataka. The soldiers are competitively putting up their best in undertaking individual and group operations.

After familiarization on each others' weapons, the soldiers were introduced to Improvised Explosive Devices, Night Firing, Room intervention and neutralization of impromptu targets. Confidence and Survival training were also imparted by expert commandoes of the Indian Army. Besides these, the Indian Air Force carried out slithering training operations by MI-8 helicopters dropping commandoes at the exercise area for rapid action.

Both troops are also undergoing Yoga sessions to cool their nerves everyday after long sessions of counter- terror operations at various locations without break. Besides these, Social interaction by both sides during the exercise is definitely bringing about "confidence building" amongst the armies of the two great nations.
