The Indian Army and Royal Saudi Land Forces successfully wrapped up their inaugural joint exercise, ‘Sada Tanseeq 2024,’ at the Mahajan field firing range on February 9.
This historic collaboration between the two nations in a military exercise aimed to strengthen cooperation and interoperability.
Kicking off on January 29, the exercise concluded after intensive training sessions spanning from January 29 to February 9 in Mahajan, Rajasthan.
The validation phase of ‘Sada Tanseeq,’ the first joint military exercise between the Indian Army and the Royal Saudi Land Force, was completed at the Mahajan Field Firing Ranges on Thursday, as stated in an official announcement.
The 12-day exercise aimed at achieving interoperability between the two forces and familiarizing each other with operational procedures and combat drills under the UN mandate.
The Indian contingent, comprising the 20th Battalion of The Brigade of Guards Regiment, and the Saudi Arabian contingent, consisting of a group of 45 soldiers, actively participated in the exercise conducted in two phases.
The first phase emphasized combat conditioning and tactical training, while the second phase culminated in physical exercises and validation.
During the validation phase, both contingents collaborated in various activities, including establishing a temporary operating base, setting up an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance grid, operating a mobile vehicle check post, and conducting cordon-and-search operations, heliborne operations, and house intervention drills.
The closing ceremony of the joint exercise is scheduled for Friday, as mentioned in the statement.
This milestone event not only strengthens bilateral ties between India and Saudi Arabia but also underscores the commitment of both nations to enhance cooperation and readiness in the military domain.
